A British Childhood

A British Childhood is a searing look at how we fail our most vulnerable children - and a call to protect childhood itself. As Children's Laureate, Frank Cottrell-Boyce saw schools in crisis, families in limbo and children lost in the system, alongside inspiring changemakers. Reflecting on his Merseyside upbringing, he explores how community, literature and connection shape young lives - and how those bonds are fraying.
