Review: This is a wonderful collection of colourful, warm and lively stories to be read over and over. * Primary Times * A series of lively, captivating tales. * The Scotsman * In her first novel, storyteller Atinuke guides us through Anna's throughly modern multicultural life and family and Lauren Tobia's evocative illustrations spill around the text. * Juno * An interesting read in which we learn to appreciate the joys of African life. * Cork Evening Echo * Memorable and enchanting. * School Library Journal * A life-affirming way to encourage your child to celebrate simple joys * Junior * a story of sizzling happiness that starts small and grows irrepressibly...her township is beautifully drawn...a book to put - and keep - a smile on your face * The Observer * There are so many reasons to love the Anna Hibiscus books as wonderful stories with beautiful illustrations; but the inclusion of a mixed-race family and unfamiliar cultural setting make these important books to share with every child * Child-Led Chaos *
