As part of our recent focus on The Windrush Generation, some of our children have studied the book by Floella Benjamin. This book tells the true story of Floella and her sister and brothers as they journey from Trinidad to make a new life in London - part of a whole generation of West Indians who were encouraged to move to Britain and help rebuild the country after the Second World War. Reunited with her mother, Floella was too overwhelmed at first to care about the cold weather and the noise and dirt from the traffic. But, as her new life began, she was shocked and distressed by the initial rejection she experienced. This inspirational story is a powerful reminder of how courage and determination can overcome adversity, message that are still relevant today.
