On December 6th, author Odette Elliott addressed her local church, introducing the parents and children there to her work with Tamarind.  The church audience reflects a cross-section of the community, particularly African and Caribbean families, of whom 50% are regular churchgoers. Odette’s picture book My Big Brother JJ and the Tamarind catalogue proved particularly popular with the youth group and with a social worker in the congregation who works with foster carers in Brent.
