In 2018, around 41.3 percent of New York City residents lived in near poverty, and as of early 2020, New York’s homeless population was estimated at around 91,000. In recent years, poverty and homelessness have reached their highest levels in New York since the Great Depression. Meanwhile, the state has yet to adopt effective measures to address the core issues, including racism, inequality, and a flawed system.

Invisible Child (2021) is the true story of a homeless family of ten wandering through the streets and shelters of New York. Andrea Elliott immerses readers in the struggles of the eldest child, Dasani – a fierce, clever, and ambitious girl paving her path in a life marked by the challenges of poverty, hunger, sickness, racism, and addiction.
