“Anna Hibiscus is the perfect little heroine for a high reader in the primary grades.” Pugent Sound Council for the Review of Children’s Media (November 2010)

“Obviously written by a storyteller, these books are unique and offer American children a fascinating glimpse of life in Africa that is guaranteed to break stereotypes … Another positive for the books is how the simple pleasures of life are the best, something that so many children in America need to learn.
Beautifully written and wonderfully simple and straight forward, these books are something very special.” –Kid’s Lit, (September 9, 2010)

“These stories celebrate the extended family and the combination of traditional ways with conveniences of the modern world; they contrast Anna’s relatively privileged life with that of others in her country and reflect the Nigerian childhood of the author, a storyteller now living in Wales. Tobia’s sketches, pen-and-ink with a gray wash, will help early readers visualize the family, unfamiliar customs and clothing and Anna’s community. A third title has already been published in England. A welcome window into an unfamiliar world.” – Kirkus Reviews, August 1, 2010
