In this new addition to our ‘Travellers’ Tales’ series, Sonny devotes his weekend to helping his neighbours and fellow Travellers with a variety of tasks. He uses many skills, from calculating the amount of fuel needed for a journey, to restoring a caravan. In fact, the only thing he doesn’t do over the weekend is his homework – his workbook is missing! What will his teacher say? This new picture book by Richard O’Neill champions the idea that many skills learned at home are as important as those learned at school.
* Traveller communities are under-represented in children's literature. * This picture book, written by a Romani Storyteller, challenges stereotypes about GRT (Gypsy, Roma and Traveller) cultures. * Encourages children to see learning from a new angle; the story highlights the different ways in which we develop our skills and learn new things. * Sonny spends the weekend having fun and helping the people around him; he's so busy, he doesn't realise how much he has learned! * Exercises and discussions can be based around what young readers have learned at school and at home. * This can help to build self-esteem, as children may not be aware of their own talents and skills!
