    We Sang Across the Sea

    A powerfully moving and beautiful picture book about the voyage of HMT Empire Windrush from national treasure, Benjamin Zephaniah.

    The hopes, dreams and bravery of the Windrush generation are expressed in this vivid story through the real-life experiences of Trinidadian musician, Mona Baptiste. Written as a brand-new poem by Benjamin Zephaniah, the book is beautifully illustrated by the extraordinary artist, Onyinye Iwu.

    The arrival of the Windrush in 1948 is celebrated each year on Windrush Day, 22 June. This book is perfect for teaching young children about inclusivity and diversity.
