![]() ![]() ![]() The wonderful, personable illustrations are by Lauren Tobia. ![]() The stories are interesting, well told, and usually feature a gentle lesson, about things like family, class, tradition, slowing down, and courage. The stories feature a young girl who lives in Africa with her African father, Canadian mother, her twin baby brothers, Double and Trouble, her grandmother and grandfather, her aunts and uncles, and all of her many cousins. During the time that we’ve been reading these, she’s frequently said that she wished she were Anna Hibiscus and was always, always impatient to read more. These are easily my favorite of the chapter books that Maia and I have read together so far (and I suspect her favorite as well). What a sweet, sweet series of early chapter books for girls written by Atinuke, a Nigerian author. Anna Hibiscus lives in Africa, amazing Africa. ![]()
