Hooray for Anna Hibiscus! by Atinuke (author) (UK edition)

Four linked tales of African family life starring feisty, funny Anna – a little girl who is full of beans, but sometimes a little bit stubborn! Anna lives with her huge extended family in a bustling city in Africa, where they have a house with the most beautiful garden. Join Anna as she sings for the president, gets in a terrible tangle with her hair, and visits the other side of the city! This lovely book offers children a more substantial, longer book which they can either read at one sitting or break down into shorter stages. Bringing to life a world of vivid hues and rich community through the eyes of a lively girl whom everyone will love, these stories are the perfect window into another culture.
