Coming to England archive10-year-old Floella is strong and brave. When her parents leave Trinidad for England her young life is turned upside down when she's placed with a cruel foster 'auntie'. Eventually sailing to join her parents, Floella's excitement for her new life in England is short-lived, with the family subjected to racism and intolerance in 1960s' London. Guided by her inspirational mother, and working twice as hard as her classmates, young Floella strives to overcome adversity and learns to love and accept herself.
