Rainey the Romany

Among the bright, whimsical illustrations and lyrical storytelling by Romany Gypsy author-illustrator Elijah Vardo, we follow 8-year-old Rainey’s first day at her new school. Bringing to light Romany Gypsy culture and folklore, including the presence of the messenger Crow who provides information about terminology, this lovely picture book shares the rich Gypsy, Roma, Traveller culture and celebrates diversity in family life.
