Told from the perspective of a young boy, through his eyes we see an all too familiar story unfold - the struggles this boy goes through as a young black child, the difficulties he faces, and the things he really wants. An eye opening story, Waiting For Tuesday discusses the impact of racism and bullying and the history of this troubled time period whilst also exploring the things that could cause children to behave in this way and do the things they do.
