A quick and easy read Anna, in this story, learns a good few things about the world and how life isn't so nice and sometimes it is. The other books in the series do not have as much of an axe to grind as the first, however, and as a result read a little more like story/a little less like essay.

It’s interesting to me that the very first story in Anna Hibiscus is a tale of how Anna and her mom, dad, and brothers try to take a vacation without the extended relatives, only to realize that they need them more than they thought.

And once you understand the living situation (everyone lives in one big house) the rest of the book will make that much more sense.But being around the people she loves so much only makes her happiness grow and grow; she is SO happy, she is going to EXPLODE! She is the author of the award-winning Anna Hibiscus series, illustrated by Lauren Tobia, as well as Hugo, illustrated by Birgitta Sif, and Too Small Tola, illustrated by Onyinye Iwu. Gorgeous illustrations and the stories are heart-warming, funny and they give an insight into life in Amazing Africa. So she turns to her grandparents, her aunties, her cousins Chocolate, Angel and Benz, her uncle Tunde and her father, who each offer her a way to express her boundless joy. If only for the diversity, but also the stress on the importance of family and the fact that Anna isn’t so sassy, I would give these to my own daughter to read.
