Brilliant Black British History

Atinuke

Illustrated by Kingsley Nebechi

'I wish I'd had this book when I was a kid.' Joseph Coelho, UK Children's Laureate

A must-read history of the Black people of

Britain. This eye-opening book focuses on a part of our past that has mostly been left out of the history books: Black British history.

Did you know that the first Britons were Black? Or that some of the Roman soldiers who invaded and even ruled Britain were Black, too? Join this fascinating journey through the ages to meet those first Britons, as well as the Black Tudors, Georgians and Victorians who existed in every walk of life here. This book will change everything you thought you knew about our green-grey British Isles.

Atinuke was born in Nigeria and moved to the UK when she was a child. She pours her creative talents into writing children’s books, such as the enchanting fiction series Anna Hibiscus.

Kingsley Nebechi is a Nigerian-British artist, illustrator and graphic designer based in London. Inspired by African art, he has worked with organisations including the BBC, Nike, and the Premier League.
