Description

Ossiri and the Bala Mengro is a heartwarming tale about a young Traveller girl who creates her own musical instrument from a willow branch and recycled objects. She plays it with enthusiasm, but it sounds quite different from what she had hoped for. Undeterred, Ossiri sets out to practice her music in the hills, despite warnings to avoid awakening the ogre that lives there. This original story, told by a Romani storyteller and a picture book author, offers a fascinating glimpse into Traveller lifestyles and cultures. With its unique blend of music, nature, and cultural heritage, Ossiri and the Bala Mengro is a charming and engaging read for anyone interested in exploring the diversity of the UK's Traveller communities.
