It's All About the Story
Hello and welcome to my site!
I am a children's book author whose work
aims to build more compassion and
understanding in our world.
I am all for radical empathy,
exploring diverse perspectives and
recognizing our shared humanity.
This Is My Bag:
A Story of the Unhoused
Words by: Roxanne Chester
Pictures by: Abraham Matias
An unhoused person carries a
bag through the streets, to a
friend's house, to a tent,
to a shelter and to the park.
With each changing location, the protagonist and their bag also changes, asking readers to contemplate the many faces of people in our unhoused community, and encouraging conversations on themes of community, self-reliance, and the meaning of "home."
"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."
