Better Reading Top 100: Criag Silvey on the Books that Shaped his Childhood

Better Reading

2022

In this conversation, Craig Silvey talks about the warm reception he has received to Honeybee, a story which centres around an informal foster care family created when an elderly man takes in a despairing 14 year old. One of the books which was a powerful influence on Craig growing up - and which has resonances with Honeybee - was Michelle Magorian's Goodnight Mister Tom (1981).

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
