About the Author

It is a collection of stories and poems written by children aged 5 to 18 years who attend “Our Roots community Saturday Club” and Friday “Writing and Reading Club”in Birmingham, United Kingdom. These stories are from the children’s life experiences, journal entries and for some, imaginations. Our Roots children came together to write about life as they see it and as they know it from their perspective. They have been able to generate a range of ideas and share their experiences in a way that is weaved together with passion, innocence and greater expectations.
