Synopsis "Windrush Child: A Moving Tale From Bafta-Award-Winning Benjamin Zephaniah"
In this heart-stopping adventure, Benjamin Zephaniah shows us what it was like to be a child of the Windrush generation. Leonard is shocked when he arrives with his mother in the port of Southampton. His father is a stranger to him, it’s cold and even the Jamaican food doesn’t taste the same as it did back home in Maroon Town. But his parents have brought him here to try to make a better life, so Leonard does his best not to complain, to make new friends, to do well at school – even when people hurt him with their words and with their fists. How can a boy so far from home learn to enjoy his new life when so many things count against him? ‘Zephaniah pulls no punches in his depictions of the racism that Leonard suffers both at school and in the streets in a powerful, moving account of family and fitting in’ iNews ‘An invaluable story for any young readers who enjoy adventure and want to learn more about the Windrush generation’s experience. Essential reading’ Alex Wheatle ABOUT THE SERIES: VOICES A thrilling series showcasing some of the UK’s finest writers for young people. Voices reflects the authentic, unsung stories of our past.

Perfect for teaching children about inclusivity and diversity
