Winner of ForeWord Magazine's 2007 Picture Book of the Year! Nominated for the 2009 Shining Willow by the Saskatchewan Young Readers' Choice Awards!
"This sensitive, gentle tale with its bright, visceral illustrations is about homelessness and one child's reaction to the reality of it.” The Globe and Mail
Walking with her mother on the way home from school one day, Lily runs straight into a gruff and untidy-looking man selling papers on the street. Lily is afraid of the man, but when the weather turns cold, she starts to see the Paper Man differently--she sees his bare toes through the holes in his boots and his thin shirt through the holes in his coat. As she lies in her cozy bed at night, she wonders how the Paper Man stays warm. Then Lily comes up with a wonderful idea - she'll make him a gift of warm clothes For more on Lily visit Rebecca's website www.rebeccaupjohn.com
