Abstract
"Anna Hibiscus has never been away from her big white house in Nigeria, where baby brothers, many cousins, parents, aunties, uncles, and grandparents are always nearby. But now she's flying overseas on her own to visit Granny Canada and see snow for the first time! When she lands at the airport, Anna finds herself amid a sea of white faces in a place that is breathtakingly cold. Canada is very different, but Anna learns how to pull on toasty layers of clothing, warms up to Granny's large dog (who does not live in a pack and bite people), hones her new talent for sledding, and celebrates cozy Christmas rituals--all while keenly missing her cousins"--Publisher's website.
