She then physically tries each of their expressions in an effort to articulate her own but in the end decides that she can express herself by singing. She visits each family member to ask how they express their happiness.
Anna is a very happy child who is learning how to express herself. The array of diverse characters provides a holistic view of African people and a more authentic representation. Her extensive extended family nurtures her connections to African culture. She is presented as connected to her culture and comfortable with who she is and with her strong links to family members––her parents, her aunts and uncles. Anna finds herself bubbling with happiness but confused as to how she can express it. Her mother is Caucasian and the rest of her family Black.
This picture book tells the story of Anna Hibiscus, a young girl who has lived her entire life in Africa with her immediate and extended family.
