A review of a new book focusing on homelessness, The Way Home, by David Bullock. Review by Sophie Dianne

David Bullock is an award-winning author who has been writing professionally for over a decade. His first book, The Man Who Would be Jack, was shortlisted for The People’s Book Prize in 2018. Two years later, David started work on his first children’s book, proving himself quite the creative, having written and illustrated it. The story follows the adventures of a police constable that helps his community.

A further three books about PC Ben have been published. David’s other works include Valentine Doesn’t Like Bears, which won the Cranthorpe Millner Literary Competition in 2019 and the highly regarded Collett the Wonder Vet, which has gone on to receive international endorsement from the Australian Vet Society, as well as a host of animal charities and public figures.

David’s latest book The Way Home is a touching story about homelessness. A man and his dog travel from place to place, without shelter or a bed to sleep in. They have no door to close or a fire to keep them warm. But their dream of one day finding a place to call home keeps them going.

We all deserve a place to call home, and the dignity that brings. The Way Home is a touching story that softens a subject that is often uncomfortable. The lyrical prose and colourful pictures will bring delight to any child that reads it and help them to digest this issue. It would be dishonest to say that I didn’t get through the book without shedding a tear. And then being delighted to see our protagonist and his friend get their dream home! This is a story of hope that should be part of any child’s bookshelf.

All proceeds from the sales of The Way Home will go to help fund The Alma Beacon charity, which supports homeless people and those in need throughout Windsor.
