![]() ![]() This is a marvelous book for any child who is about to get a new sibling. She realizes that her brothers aren’t so bad, it will just take some time for everyone to adjust. At that same time, miraculously, everyone finally has time for Anna. ![]() When she finally breaks down and cries, her father finds her and explains that she will now have to share the family with her brothers, but that everyone still loves her. The problem that Anna is facing is that no one seems to have time for her because everyone is focused on the new babies. ![]() Anna’s cousins had teased her that boys were trouble and now Anna feels that they were right – her new brothers are nothing but double trouble. ![]() The day that the babies are born, Anna struggles with the fact that her normal routine has been completely upended by their birth. In “Double Trouble for Anna Hibiscus!” Anna’s mother has just given birth to twin boys. We first discovered Anna Hibiscus in picture book format, but there are also chapter books for young readers available. They are a multicultural, multi-generational family, which is something we don’t see a great deal of. They take place in Africa, but really they could be anywhere. These books, written by Atinuke and illustrated by Lauren Tobia, tell the story of young Anna Hibiscus as she tries to maneuver through some of life’s challenges. ![]()
