Then there are also children out there who can’t relate to homelessness and would really benefit from being exposed to it. There are plenty of children out there who have either dealt with this themselves, or know others who have. The author addresses it in a very kid-friendly way that isn’t too difficult for them to understand. A character in the book, Damaris, is homeless. Review: Rich is a wonderful book to expose children to differences among themselves. These limited illustrations at least allow children to have a picture in their head of what the characters looks like. They are in black and white and are drawn inside of the large number of that particular chapter. Most of them are on the very first page of each chapter. Illustrations: There are very few illustrations that are included in Rich. Dyamonde helps Damaris through her hard time and Damaris becomes “rich” in the most important way- friendship. Damaris has a secret that she wants no one to know she is poor and lives in a shelter. Dyamonde has never taken notice to her before, but now she is curious. However, another girl in their class, Damaris, is also entering to win and she is more than determined. In Rich, there is a poetry contest that Free is determined to win. Summary: Dyamonde Daniel and her best friend Free are back for another adventure.
