An Evening with Onjali Q Raúf
Author of The Lion Above the Door (inspired by Rochester Cathedral) and The Boy at the Back of the Class
Want to hear how Rochester Cathedral inspired a whole children's book about the forgotten heroes of World War Two?
Or how the refugee camps of Calais and Dunkirk inspired the writing of an award-winning, best-selling story (and soon-to-be movie)?
Come and join multi-award-winning children's author Onjali Raúf, as she takes her place by the Lampedusa Cross to talk about the real-life places and people who inspire her writings and works, and replenish her hopes for a world open to helping all refugees, and ending the inhumanities of racism.
