An Evening with Onjali Q Raúf

The Lion above the Door takes inspiration from Rochester Cathedral

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.

Book signing will follow

Suitable for children of all ages but must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or carer.
