This year 6 Honouring Stories-themed unit of work is based on The Place for Me: Stories About the Windrush Generation by Dame Floella Benjamin, K. N. Chimbiri and E. L. Norry.

The Place for Me: Stories About the Windrush Generation is an anthology of inspiring stories telling the real experiences of Black British people from the Windrush Generation; a glorious celebration of how immigrants to Britain have enriched British life and culture.
