![]() ![]() ![]() Written by Atinuke, Splash, Anna Hibiscus automatically sets the tone of the story with a welcoming and uplifting introduction. I will definitely be tracking down the other two Anna Hibiscus picture-books! Recommended to fans of the character, and to anyone seeking picture-books featuring family and/or the seashore, or set in Africa. Nigerian expatriate author Atinuke and English illustrator Lauren Tobia have done it again, creating a warm, engaging slice-of-life family story here. ![]() I was not disappointed, finding the writing adept and the story engaging, and the artwork appealing. Having greatly enjoyed all eight of the chapter-book devoted to Anna Hibiscus' adventures with her extended family in "Amazing Africa," I picked up Splash, Anna Hibiscus! with some anticipation. ![]() At first they are all too busy doing other things, but as Anna cavorts in the playful waves, her family hear her laughter and join her, one by one. Anna Hibiscus goes to the beach with her extended family in this second of three picture-books devoted to her adventures - she is also the star of her own series of chapter-books - and urges all of her relatives to splash in the surf with her. ![]()
