| Description: | Select Guide Rating The inspiring true story of Floella Benjamin, written and illustrated for the first time as a picture book for young children. <p><b>A picture book story about the triumph of hope, love, and determination,</b><b> <i>Coming to England </i>is the inspiring true story of Baroness Floella Benjamin: from Trinidad, to London as part of the Windrush generation, to the House of Lords.</b><br><br>When she was ten years old, Floella Benjamin, along with her older sister and two younger brothers, set sail from Trinidad to London, to be reunited with the rest of their family. Alone on a huge ship for two weeks, then tumbled into a cold and unfriendly London, coming to England wasn't at all what Floella had expected.<br><br><i>Coming to England</i> is both deeply personal and universally relevant – Floella's experiences of moving home and making friends will resonate with young children, who will be inspired by her trademark optimism and joy. This is a true story with a powerful message: that courage and determination can always overcome adversity.</p> |
