Description
A poignant novella about the reality of life on the edge of society, told with powerful black and white illustrations. When Jim's family arrives in a new town, they face hostility and prejudice. But it's in this unfriendly place that he meets Kit, a girl who brings kindness into his life.
As Jim navigates his new school and the challenges that come with it, he learns that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. But the threat of violence and prejudice looms large, and Jim's family is not immune to its effects.
This moving story explores the complexities of life in a traveller community and the power of human connection in the face of adversity.
