Rationale for Classroom Use: Students will place themselves in the shoes of Anna and recall reasons for her wanting to see snow. Her realization about the surrounding poverty is done in a careful, thoughtful way, and the juxtaposition of Anna’s seemingly charmed life with the rest of the world around her is breathtaking. While she lives a sheltered, happy life, this story shares glimpses into Anna’s experiences with the world around her, which aren’t always beautiful.
She lives on a compound with her extended family and they go on a beach vacation. She is also biracial – her father is African and her mother is Canadian. Anna is from Africa, and lives with her middle-class family in an urban city.
Summary: This is the first of many Anna Hibiscus books.
