1: Lovely, concise, and readable
This is one of the best resources I have found on US orphanages. The text is concise and clear, the layout is clean, and the many photos supplement the text admirably. I found it even better researched than some adult texts on orphanages in the US.

2: A unique social history recommended for grades 4-6
What was it like to grow up in an orphanage? Where did kids sleep, and what was daily life like? Catherine Reef's Alone In The World: Orphans And Orphanages In America is the first book devoted solely to orphan history, culture, attitudes, and lifestyle. First-hand accounts blend with over seventy archival photos and prints to accompany a history of the institutions that grew to address the needs of orphans, from asylum children to solder's orphans. A unique social history recommended for grades 4-6.
