Windrush Child: The Tale of a Caribbean Child Who Faced a New Horizon

John Agard

A child leaves a Caribbean home and grandmother behind to travel to Britain, reflecting the journeys of Caribbean children and families in the Windrush generation between 1948 and 1971. The book presents one child’s experience within this difficult period of mid-20th-century history and considers the hope associated with immigration stories. Lyrical text and gouache-and-pen illustrations tell the story.
