Push, pull and slide the scenes and discover the inspiring true story of Baroness Floella Benjamin, from Trinidad to London and the House of Lords, in Coming to England! Young Floella leaves her tropical home in the Caribbean, sailing across the ocean to make a new life with her family in cold and rainy London. Will England be just like she imagined? This celebration of hope and courage, recounting life as part of the Windrush generation, has been beautifully reimagined for very young children with illustrations by Joelle Avelino. Listen along to an audio recording of this story by scanning the QR code on the back cover.
