“A beautiful poetic and visual delight” Joseph Coelho A
BEAUTIFULLY EVOCATIVE STORY OF A CHILD'S JOURNEY TO ENGLAND ON
BOARD EMPIRE WINDRUSH, FROM AN INTERNATIONALLY CELEBRATED,
MULTI-AWARD-WINNING POET AND AN EXTRAORDINARY DEBUT ILLUSTRATOR.
"you're stepping into history bringing your Caribbean eye to
another horizon" With one last hug, Windrush chid waves goodbye to
his Caribbean home and sets sail across the ocean to Britain. In
this powerful picture book, full of hope and promise, celebrated
poet John Agard and illustrator Sophie Bass movingly evoke the
journey made by children and their families as part of the Windrush
Generation. PRAISE FOR JOHN AGARD'S WINDRUSH CHILD: Longlisted for
the Jhalak Children's & YA Prize 2023 Longlisted for the 2023
Yoto Carnegie Medal for Illustration Shortlisted for the Spark!
School Book Award 2023 Longlisted for the Children’s Literature
Festivals Book Awards 2023 "A poetic story brought to life by
Sophie Bass’s colour-popping illustrations." Daily Mail "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’, Sunday Times (Culture) "Debut
illustrator Bass’s intricate, colourful, arresting pictures bring
out all the resonances of Agard’s spare text in this story of a
child, a ship, a journey, and a new life enriched by the loves and
memories of the old." Guardian "A stunning picture book ... with
the distinctive, vibrant art of Sophie Bass.” The Bookseller "A
gorgeous bedtime read that will reward repeat readings, deceptively
simple, emotionally deep." Joseph Coelho
