Description
Windrush Child by Benjamin Zephaniah is a powerful and moving account of family and fitting in. In 1958, Leonard arrives in Southampton with his mother, leaving behind the life he knew in Jamaica. His father is a stranger, and everything feels different - the food, the people, the cold. Leonard must navigate a new life, making new friends and trying to do well at school, all while facing racism and hurtful words.
Benjamin Zephaniah pulls no punches in his depiction of the racism Leonard suffers, creating a heart-stopping and authentic story of a young boy's struggle to find his place. This is an invaluable story for any young reader who wants to learn more about the Windrush generation's experience and the challenges they faced.
