Description

Push, pull and slide the scenes and discover the inspiring true story of Baroness Floella Benjamin, from Trinidad to London and the House of Lords, in Coming to England!

Young Floella leaves her tropical home in the Caribbean, sailing across the ocean to make a new life with her family in cold and rainy London. Will England be just like she imagined? This celebration of hope and courage, recounting life as part of the Windrush generation, has been beautifully reimagined for very young children with illustrations by Joelle Avelino.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
