From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little
People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Olive Morris, the social
justice activist and campaigner.
Olive was a child when she moved from the countryside in Jamaica to the
busy streets of London in Britain. She soon realised just how tough
and hard life was growing up in Britain during the 1970s.
Her life changed forever when she witnessed police brutality towards a
Black man and was arrested when she came to his aid.
Olive became a leader within the Black British community, fighting
against any kind of abuse and speaking up about racism. She never let
the injustices she faced as a Black woman during that time stop her.
Olive was involved in the first Black bookshops in Britain and spent
much of her life fighting for the rights of those in her community.
Olive's fearless determination inspired the building blocks for change
within the Black British community.
This inspiring 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 iconic social justice
activist's life.
