Young Ava learns from her beloved grandmother about the Windrush generation in England — Caribbean immigrants from post-WWII to the 1970s.
In an age-appropriate language and with stunning illustrations, her grandmother describes the racism they faced and how they built a community among family and friends.
In a school assembly about people who have made a difference in the world, Ava chooses to represent her grandmother.
Ava passes on to the audience England’s immigration history and the recognition that we don’t need to look far to find powerful people with stories to be told. [Description from Rethinking Schools.]
