Illustrated by
Lauren Tobia.

Amazing Africa"--revisit themes of family, tradition, biracial/bicultural identity, wealth disparities, friendship, and more. Satisfying resolutions for most of the personal and broader troubles Anna Hibiscus faces arise through guidance from her elders and her own thoughtful introspection, along with large helpings of humor and goodwill from those around her. Review covers these Anna Hibiscus titles: Go Well, Anna Hibiscus!, Love from Anna Hibiscus!, Welcome Home, Anna Hibiscus!, and You're Amazing, Anna Hibiscus!.

Anna Hibiscus series.
Illustrated by
Lauren Tobia.
These linked short stories set in contemporary Africa are based loosely on Atinuke's own childhood. In Luck, harmattan winds cover the land with dust. In Fun, Anna flies to snowy Canada to visit her grandmother. Everything is on a small scale, allowing readers to easily identify with the situations. Detailed illustrations add depth and energy, showing Anna in all her emotional states. Review covers these titles: Good Luck, Anna Hibiscus! and Have Fun, Anna Hibiscus!
