At the time, Floella was a child in Trinidad, everybody there believed life in England was great. Now, many people in England would love to live on a tropical island! In the book, Floella always looked confident, but was she really? The naming of storms using a single authoritative system provides a consistent message and aids the communication of approaching severe weather through media partners and other government agencies. In this way the public will be better placed to keep themselves, their property and businesses safe. Can I suggest a storm name? Looking for something fun as a family?

What made the history or the time it was set in interesting to you?Yes. I live in England but the story was set way before I was born.Did you learn any new words or facts as a result of the story?No because I think it is a book for beginners. If you will arrive in England after 4am, Friday 18 March, you do not need to take any COVID-19 tests or fill in a UK passenger locator form. A new list of names will be compiled jointly between Met Éireann,the Met Office and KNMI (The Dutch national weather forecasting service).

Would you recommend this book? Jacob said “Miss Worrall will like this book because we are learning about different skin colours at school.” Children should be of all cultures in stories because that's the society we live in, and this is especially true of picture books. With non-illustrated books for older children you can imagine what you like. But in a picture book you must spell it out. Within the North Atlantic Ocean, tropical or subtropical cyclones are named by the National Hurricane Centre when they are judged to have intensified into a tropical storm with winds of at least 65 km/h, (40 mph). The World Meteorological Organisation maintains six alphabetical lists of names which alternate between masculine and feminine and are used on a six-year cycle. Significant tropical cyclones have their names retired from the lists, with a replacement name selected at the next World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) meeting. Why are there no storms for Q, U, X, Y and Z?Some of Coming to England is really upsetting, particularly the racism you experienced. How did you decide what to leave out in the picture book, and what to keep in to tell the same, but slightly different, story? What is the book about? A little girl from Trinidad moves to England to be with her family in London. A little girl called Floella.
