The Girl at the Front of the Class
Illustrated by Pippa Curnick
for Little Ones Everywhere, aged 3+
One day at Story Time, a knock is heard on the door.
Standing at the threshold, is a little girl.
A little girl who does not speak, doesn't want to build sandcastles or play in the playground.
Little does she know that in her new classroom, is one little boy who is set to change all that, with the help of his heart and mind, and a large pot of colouring pencils...
A celebratory story to mark five years since the publication of The Boy at the Back of the Class, Onjali's debut picture book featuring wondrous illustrations by Pippa Curnick, highlights the plight of little refugee children walking into nurseries everywhere. Waiting to be met by a friend.
Thank you to everyone who attended the launch of The Girl at the Front of the Class, and helped raise
£2.7K for All Our Relations
to aid refugee children and their families being harmed by the ongoing attempted ethnic cleansing of the peoples of Gaza, Palestine.
