Beskrivning
A charming story which showcases Mauritian culture, written from the author's personal experience of privilege and racism experienced within one dual-heritage family. The book gently educates about Windrush, migration and mixed race family make-ups but primarily celebrates the gorgeous relationship between grandson and grandpa who are more alike than they appear at first glance. Also includes back matter about heritage and elements of anti-racism.

Mer information

Tarah lives in Warwickshire with her husband and young son. From the age of five, she wanted to become an author and wrote, illustrated and made books for competitions at school or for her younger brother. She studied creative writing at The University of Warwick, but then made her way onto the corporate world and marketing. She recently started writing again and as a new mum felt compelled to write something for children. She is fascinated by the captivating power storytelling has over children and how childhood experiences and memory shape our values and personality traits. Tarah's Mauritian-Welsh heritage and experience growing up in the Middle East attending international schools, has given her a rich and diverse backdrop of race, heritage, custom and culture providing ideas and settings for the stories she is yet to write.

"A valuable book that explains the concept of migration to younger children in a family orientated and accessible style." - The School Reading List review 'Best Children's Books Coming Out in Summer 2022' ; "A book to treasure!" @literate.littles ; "A wonderful read filled with floral shirts, family, fun and tropical feels! I love the beautiful intergenerational relationship at its heart, and the way that it shows the power storytelling has to connect families to their heritage and history..." @mrsbrownsbookbox
