A beautiful picture book with gorgeous illustrations... I couldn't think of a better way for young children to learn about history and understand the world.
David Walliams
"John Agard's hopeful poem commemorates a child's Windrush journey from the Caribbean, and bold and vivid illustrations sing of palm trees and mangos left behind, and new experiences, including pigeons and terraced houses and snow."
'One to Watch,' The Sunday Times (Culture)
