Growing up in Russia, left-handed Anya is forced to use her right hand. But she refuses to use it for drawing, her special talent, and imagines she's in a secret society with famous left-handed or ambidextrous artists. When Anya immigrates to the U.S., she can use her left hand freely and becomes an artist herself--as demonstrated by this whimsically illustrated picture book based on the author/illustrator's childhood.
