Sonny lived on a Traveller site with his parents, grandparents,cousins and other neighbours. The site was a kushti atchin tan,a real community, and there was always something going on. He loved school but always liked to do his homework on Friday

so he could enjoy the weekend without having to think about it.

This particular Friday was busier than usual as the family weregoing to Sonny’s cousin’s wedding the following day.The cart had to be cleaned ready to transport the newlyweds.

Shoes needed to be polished, and clotheshad to be put out ready for the morning.

Ossiri helped her father and grandfather to load their cart withgoods other people had thrown out. Then she led the horse back to the camp so the family could sort through what they had collected.

“I’ve carved a new leg for that chair, Daddo,” she said proudly. “As good as new, Ossiri!” he replied.“Better,” smiled Mother, as she wove a new seat for the chair.

Ossiri was a Traveller girl. She and her family worked hardas ‘Tattin Folki’, or rag–and–bone people, as the settled peoplecalled them.

Ossiri’s family recycled everything. They sold old clothes thatthey’d mended and altered, and they turned rags into paper. Old scrap iron was weighed and sold.

A cry woke the family.

Yokki was shouting. “It’s come! It’s the Parno Gry!”

Everyone ran outside. In front of them stood a huge white horse with steam coming out of its nostrils.

The whole family was working on a huge order of painted alder wood stools that were going to be shipped to America. It was a big job and the stools were only just finished on time.

“We’ll set off early and stop halfway for some habben and a besh,” said Daddo.

“We should get to the docks in the afternoon,” he added.“There’ll be plenty of time to deliver the stools before the ship sails.”

Everyone helped load them onto Daddo’s new truck, ready for him to drive to the docks the next day.

Many years ago, ponies like Polonius worked below the groundin coal mines, pulling heavy metal tubs filled with coal.

Pit ponies spent most of the year in the mines,working and sleeping underground.

Ossiri and the Bala Mengro Richard O’Neill and Katharine Quarmby, illustrated by Hannah TolsonA Traveller girl creates her own musical instrument from a willow branch and recycled objects. Ignoring warnings not to awaken the ogre in the hills, Ossiri goes there to practise. An original story, told by a Romani storyteller and a picture book author to positively reflect Travelling cultures.

Yokki and the Parno Gry Richard O’Neill and Katharine Quarmby, illustrated by Marieke NelissenWhen a Traveller family experiences a run of bad luck, an imaginative boy called Yokki lifts their spirits with tales of a magical white horse. A traditional Traveller-family folk tale, which inspires hope and celebrates creativity.

Polonius the Pit Pony Richard O’Neill, illustrated by Feronia Parker ThomasOne day, Polonius escapes from the coal mine and joins a family of Travellers. When the chance arrives for him to do something to help his new family, he rises to the challenge, and uses his intelligence and skills to save the day.

“Positive images of Travelling communities that every classroom needs” Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre and Education Trust
