'A wonderful collection of short stories and poems from 40 black writers and illustrators . . . Brilliantly curated by Dapo Adeola' - Joseph Coelho, Children's Laureate


A hugely entertaining, fully colour-illustrated collection celebrating joy, perfect for children age 8 to 12 (and beyond!). Curated by Laugh Out Loud Awards winner Dapo Adeola, with a foreword by the acclaimed author Patrice Lawrence.

Featuring both exciting new talents and globally renowned creators – every specially created poem and story is illustrated by an amazing artist.

With stories featuring a mythical whale, a message from the future, a Halloween dance competition, a talking book, a miraculous discovery in a moment of lost hope, the joy of jollof rice (along with an easy recipe) and so much more. The creators hail from around the world, from the UK and US, to Uganda, the Netherlands, Nigeria and more.
