Atinuke was born in Nigeria and spent her childhood in both
Africa and the UK. She works as a traditional oral storyteller in
schools and theatres all over the world. Atinuke is the author of
two children's book series, one about Anna Hibiscus and the other
about the No. 1 Car Spotter. Atinuke lives on a mountain
overlooking the sea in west Wales. She supports the charity SOS
Children's Villages.
Lauren Tobia lives in Southville, Bristol. She shares her tiny
house with her husband and their two yappy Jack Russell terriors.
When Lauren is not drawing, she can be found drinking tea on her
allotment.
It will show children that there are many types of people in the
world, yet despite the fact that Anna’s life may be very different
from their own, children will find much to identify with.
*The Guardian*
Over the four short stories, Anna highlights the importance of
courage, compassion and solidarity within the village community.
The stories allow young readers to feel empowered by what Anna
achieves by taking action alongside her family and friends to
enable positive change.
