It’s only when a group of Travelling craftspeople arrive that questions are asked and things begin to change. Shared tales, dances, and food, together with an old storycoat, spark curiosity among the townspeople. Gradually, almost magically, the children of both towns realise that they have more in common than what keeps them apart.

By the time the Travellers leave, a bridge has been formed to join the two communities forever. And the storycoat has a new story to tell.

She later became an early years expert – founding schools with her revolutionary educational theories and changing the lives of many children. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the educator’s life.
