Windrush Child The Tale of a Caribbean Child Who Faced a New Horizon (Hardcover). Internationally acclaimed poet John Agard recalls the journey made by the thousands of Caribbean children and their families who traveled to Britain between 1948 and 1971 as part of the Windrush generation. With one last hug, Windrush child says goodbye to his grandmother and the shores of his Caribbean home before embarking on an adventure across the ocean under a sky full of promise to an unknown horizon. With sensitivity and tender lyricism, world renowned and multi award winning poet John Agard narrates the epic story of a child s voyage to England aboard Empire Windrush. Joyous illustrations by debut artist Sophie Bass richly evoke the changing landscapes and the uncertainty, courage, and hope of those who step into history and travel far in search of home.
