The last of my summer reads comes from a stalwart to children's television - Floella Benjamin.
This book, recounting her journey from the Caribbean to the UK, mirrors the story told by many of the Windrush generation, but could be the basis of any immigration/emigration story. Although the tale does not shy away from some of the difficulties and sadness, this story is overwhelmingly positive and definitely seen through the eyes of a child. Please go and find this book in your local library or bookshop and the pictures are also expressive and comforting.
