More about the book
Anna grows up in Louisiana. When she talks about the many great opportunities that are offered to her in this wonderful place, she comes into raptures and her cheeks turn red with excitement. But one day she has to leave home to grow up. She's going to Chicago because she has never seen snowflakes in her life before. There she soon gets homesick, terrible homesickness, terribly saddening homesickness. But Anna would not be Anna if she did not find a way to connect her old and new home. The story is based on a true story, in a modified form. The book is intended to inspire children to recognize, and perhaps appreciate, even the little things in life as true values of happiness today. It's a children's story that gets adults and children talking about what makes them happy. It is suitable for reading aloud, but also for self-reading. The story is artfully realized and provided with many creative illustrations in which there is a lot to discover.
