Double Trouble for Anna Hibiscus!

(2) PS Illustrated by Lauren Tobia. In her latest picture book (Splash, Anna Hibiscus!), Anna adjusts to the arrival of twin baby brothers, or "Double Trouble." The story follows her struggles with the family's diverted attentions immediately after the births: "You will have to share us with your brothers, Anna," Papa tells her. Tobia's sunny-side-up illustrations feature an interracial extended family in a nonspecific African setting.
