Anna Hibiscus

Product Information

This delightful story about a happy girl learning to express her feelings is a wonderful celebration of the joy of life. Parents looking for a good early chapter book to read aloud to younger children will also want to check this out.

This is the sixth book in this charming series about a much-loved character all children will relate to. The stories allow young readers to feel empowered by what Anna achieves by taking action alongside her family and friends to enable positive change.Recommended to anyone looking for engaging chapter-books for young people just getting going with (slightly) longer fiction, as well as to anyone interested in quality children's books featuring modern-day Africa. The conclusion is not moralistic, necessarily, nor is it simplistic--but it does seek to reinforce the status quo of Anna's family as normal and good.

The seventh title in this brilliant series about Anna Hibiscus, who lives in Africa with her large extended family, by a renowned Nigerian storyteller.

The story about selling oranges is particularly sweet as Anna comes to realize that her actions have very real consequences for people and also shows her how fortunate she is. But that's not quite enough--and so all the big cousins come to help, and so on, and so forth, until the whole family is together again, and everyone is happy.
