[3] [4] This colourful book can help young readers from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community written and produced by Maxine Lambert. Es cierto que en algún punto el libro me ha atolondrado un poco al nombrar a demasiados familiares con nombres compuestos a los que es difícil seguirles la pista; y también es cierto que sobre algunos hechos se ceba demasiado (llegando a que el lector, de alguna forma, se inmunice) mientras que sobre otros temas pasa demasiado de puntillas. Pero, aún así, este libro me ha parecido una joya y un acto precioso de valor y literatura que me gustaría que mucha más gente conociese. Caroline Binch has written and illustrated a wide range of books, including Since Dad Left, which explores a boy's feelings around his parents' separation, as well as Road Horse, and Christy's Dream, which are both centered around young boys dreaming of having horses of their own. There is a very real need for books like those above, which challenge some of the stereotypes that have developed over many years.

In the 2014 Global Attitudes survey, 50 per cent of people in Britain admitted to having an unfavourable view of Roma people. The Brexit result also brought a fresh surge of animosity. And yet, such is this community's history of negative reactions from authority (and, indeed, society as a whole), that this new wave of hate crime went largely unreported.

Full of useful and interesting information about Gypsy Roma and Traveller histories and cultures. Also includes classroom activities. Can be used to accompany a live or online performance of Crystal’s Vardo. The plot of the main character not fitting in to the gypsy lifestyle that was forced upon him was well played out. It started out not so bad and you thought maybe he could make it (when he was very young) but then he got his first beating.

At home, at work, and now even at school, there was always someone who wanted to beat me up.”

As a Gypsy Mikey is expected to be able to fight at a young age, when he fails to do this, he is beaten by his dad pretty much everyday. He then has to watch his mum get beaten when she tried to intervene. He is raped by his uncle repeatedly growing up. All in all he has a awful childhood. When he finally becomes a teenager, he becomes more alienated in the Gypsy community when he discovers he is gay.

Interview: Mikey Walsh: Gypsy Boy On The Run, Author" (Print and Online). The Scotsman. Johnston Press. 17 July 2011 . Retrieved 31 March 2015. Mikey doesn't see his life story as tragic Up until now I thought Augusten Burroughs ( Running with Scissors, 2002) had the most horrific childhood of all time. Not anymore. Mikey Walsh’s heart wrenching autobiography makes Burroughs’ adolescence seem almost tranquil and serene. I applaud Walsh’s honesty and courage but there were several occasions when I had to set this book down and step away. This book falls into the genre of tragic life stories and if you like that genre, it is a very good book. It is a true story told from the author's perspective of growing up in a gypsy community. A lot of what happens to Mikey is heartbreaking and I was so happy when he escaped and very glad that he got a happy ending.Philomena Franz—(1922) A Sinti Holocaust survivor born in Biberach an der Riss. She writes Romani tales and organizes literary events at schools where she lives in Rosrath near Cologne. She was the first Sinti woman to be awarded Germany’s highest prize, the Federal Cross for Merits for her “activities endeavoring after understanding and conciliation.” You can write about anything you like, the two authors agree, but you must remember that what you write has ramifications for those people you write about.
