Join author Kandace Chimbiri for a talk about her book The Story of the Windrush, in conversation with Samantha Williams from Book Love. This event will explore the legacy of the Windrush pioneers and writing non-fiction for children.

About the book:
In June 1948, hundreds of Caribbean men, women and children arrivedin London on a ship called the HMT Empire Windrush.

Combining historical fact with voices from the Windrush Generation, this book sensitively tells the inspiring story of the Windrush Generation pioneers for younger readers.
