Beskrivning

A poignant and pertinent exploration of life below the poverty line from the critically acclaimed award-winning creator of My Name is Not Refugee. Mum works really hard, but today there is no money left and no food in the cupboards. Forced to visit the local foodbank, Mum feels ashamed that they have to rely on the kindness of others, but her young daughter can still see all the good in her day like reading and drawing, and even the foodbank. Maybe one day things will be different but for now together they brighten up even the darkest of days. A moving insight into the sad rise and necessity of foodbanks from the perspective of society's most vulnerable, and an essential book to help develop empathy in younger readers. Shortlisted for the 2021 Kate Greenaway Medal

Unmissable” – Just Imagine"A deceptively simple yet powerful book … The relationship between mother and child is outstandingly portrayed, their love for each other palpable throughout" – Kate Greenaway Medal Judges 2021"Milner's illustrations are layered and delicate with soft colours, and a powerful scene at the food bank shows how the entire fabric of society has been affected by economic recession. A sensitive yet hopeful depiction of a family living in poverty" – CBI
