"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: "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', The 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
