When Janie's neighbour Mrs Tolen goes into hospital with a broken
hip, it looks as though she will have to move out of her old
caravan and into a house. Janie is desperate to help, but all seems
lost until her school visits a local recycling plant. All it takes
from there is imagination, a supportive community, and lots and
lots of hard work to transform Mrs Tolen's old caravan into a safe
and secure new home! The latest picture book by renowned Romani
storyteller Richard O'Neill celebrates the traditional Traveller
virtues of resilience, adaptability, loyalty and independence.
