Coming to England: Picture Book Edition by Floella Benjamin

5.0

A true story of a family who move from Trinidad to England as part of the Windrush generation. The family move a few at a time, starting with the dad, then the mum and some siblings and then the remaining siblings. The family have to move into a much smaller house but they are happy because they are finally all back together. The children face racism when arriving at school but their new classmates soon welcome them. A fantastic book to give a real-life insight into the life of a black child as part of the Windrush generation. The book could be used across the whole of primary school and should promote values such as inclusion and respect.
