Description

A poignant and pertinent exploration of life below the poverty line from the critically acclaimed, award-winning creator of My Name is Not Refugee.

Mum works really hard, but today there is no money left and no food in the cupboards. Forced to visit the local food bank, Mum feels ashamed that they have to rely on the kindness of others. However, her young daughter can still see all the good in her day, like reading and drawing, and even the food bank.

Maybe one day things will be different, but for now, together they brighten up even the darkest of days. This book is a moving insight into the sad rise and necessity of food banks from the perspective of society's most vulnerable, and an essential read to help develop empathy in younger readers.
