Why read it?
1 author picked Anya's Secret Society as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The illustrations are marvelous and the story is a peek into what it’s like for a child that is different in Russian culture. As a left-handed child she is forced to write and do nearly everything with her right hand except draw. This is the author’s personal story and you can see from the art that her drawing is amazing. I added this book to my list as Russia tops the headlines these days and remembering that children in Russia are just children with their own stories to tell feels important. Also, it’s an incredible book.
From Carolyn's list on open your child's eyes to cultures around the world.
