I continue to find the way that serious issues are explored in these books quite thoughtful, and deeply moving. Finally, in Anna Makes Friends, our winsome little heroine finds a way to befriend the aloof village children, offering them something, and getting something in return.Įvery bit as delightful as its predecessors, Go Well, Anna Hibiscus! pairs an engaging, entertaining and heartwarming narrative from expatriate Nigerian author Atinuke with appealing artwork from English illustrator Lauren Tobia. Anna Hibiscus Is Brave sees Anna confronting both the village children, who call her an oyinbo (foreigner) because she is mixed race, and some wild dogs who frighten her grandmother. Anna Hibiscus on the Bus chronicles the exciting journey from city to bush, while Anna in the Village describes Anna as she follows some of the village women on the long trek from the bus to their destination. Anna Hibiscus, her grandparents, and her older girl cousins all head to their ancestral village, far from their city home, in this sixth chapter-book devoted to Anna's adventures.
