Anna Hibiscus lives in Africa. Amazing Africa.' So begins this book, and the other three Anna Hibiscus lives with her African father and Canadian mother and her baby brothers and many other relatives in a large African city. In this book her adventures include getting ready to travel, on her own, to spend Christmas with 'Grandma Canada'. I bought all four books for my four year old granddaughter. She loves them and roars with laughter at Anna Hibiscus's adventures. It's a wonderful series, and they are some of the best books I have ever bought her.
