Book Description
Today there are nearly six million children under the age of 5 living in poverty in the world's richest country. Behind from the Start examines what lies behind the stubbornly high rate of poverty among young children in the U.S. and its consequences. It explains the multiple ways in which early-life poverty robs millions of children of a promising future, and calls for dramatic changes in how we approach this problem.
