Illustrated by
Lauren Tobia.
From the mango tree in her family's compound in "Africa. Amazing Africa," Anna Hibiscus observes her large loving family and feels so happy, "she almost floats out of the tree." She finds a way to express her own happiness--in glorious song. Textured watercolors, using a muted green and brown palette, depict the richness of the gardens, avian life, and clothing.
