Black British anthology Happy Here arrived in 2021 from BookTrust Represents, Knights Of and the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE). Ten Black writers joined ten Black illustrators for stories and poems covering themes of joy, home and family. BookTrust has sent a copy to every primary school in England!

In Clare Weze’s story – “Once” – two friends are about to start secondary school. They want to fly. They need to fly. Armed with homemade wings, they race up the steep hillside behind their houses and launch themselves into the air.
