I used the EFF Parent/Family Role Map (www.nifl.gov/lincs/collections/eff/eff_family.html,) to guide selection --thank you, Meta! There are many other wonderful resources on these sites -- videos, curricula, pamphlets, etc. -- but I was looking specifically for books for a lending library for a homeless shelter. Scroll waaaay down to see the list. Thanks again to everyone who contributed suggestions!
