Anna Hibiscus

Product Information

The only book that comes to mind was City Boy by Jan Michael, and that certainly was a title for older readers. But the activist in me loved the essay edge of the first volume and rejoiced in parts of the later books that emphasized it, especially "Anna Hibiscus and the New Generator," and "The Other Side of the City" (Hooray for Anna Hibiscus) and "Anna Hibscus's New Clothes" (Good Luck, Anna Hibiscus). It’s great for kids to know what life is like overseas, but there’s always the danger that they’ll just assume that all of Africa is one and the same. Anna's adventures with her large family of cousins, aunties, uncles, and grandparents are fun for children anywhere in the world to read about.

The book showcases four different chapters with individual stories contained within about Anna Hibiscus, who is a young girl growing up in Africa with her large, loving family.
