Dream To Change The World: The Story Of John La Rose schools Library visit@BHMLambeth

Written and illustrated by Ken Wilson-Max and for children aged 5 to 8 years old, this book is the story of the childhood of John La Rose, the late Trinidadian-born activist, trade unionist and writer committed to the struggle for racial equality and social justice in Britain and beyond. Inspired by the archives of John La Rose – which are held at the George Padmore Institute, the archive he co-founded, Ken Wilson-Max has created a magical and engrossing book.
