Zac and Jac

'Zac and Jac' is a book about friendship and football, but with an important message for young readers at the heart of the story. It explores the dangers of prejudices that are all too often passed down through the generations. Nine-year-old Jac sees his father as a hero, but when Jac joins a local football team with his best friend Zac, things start to get a bit weird at home. It’s not until a group of professional footballers come into school to talk about racism that Jac realises what his father’s problem could be. After a traumatic turn of events, Jac learns of the difficulties faced by Zac’s grandparents and the Windrush generation and becomes determined to help make a change in society, starting with his own family.

Available in Welsh as "Zac a Jac".
