What is Coming to England about?
When ten-year-old Floella Benjamin leaves Trinidad with her siblings to join their parents in England, she expects an exciting new beginning. Instead, 1960s London is cold, noisy and unfamiliar, and Floella faces hurtful racism at school and in the community. With love from her family and determination in her heart, she learns to face each challenge bravely. This moving true story follows Floella’s journey from the Caribbean to Britain and shows how courage, hard work and hope can help overcome adversity.
