It's Black History Month here in the UK and I've been delving into the history books to find out about black people who have helped shape our history. I was amazed to find out something that I had never heard about: that England might once have had a black queen! I did some research and decided to introduce you all to her in this week's story! the book of the week is in honour of National Coming Out Day (October 11th) and is 'Rick' by Alex Gino.
