Love from Anna Hibiscus

Review Quotes: Atinuke, a storyteller who grew up in Nigeria, writes with simplicity and clarity as well as respect for children's ability to process the hard truth that many families cannot afford to provide adequate food and medical care for their children. Illustrated with many expressive ink drawings, this early chapter book from the Anna Hibiscus series is moving and memorable.
