This book is initially set against the backdrop of Germany in the early 1930s as Adolf Hitler comes into power. The story explores a young girl’s (Anna) struggles as she moves with her family from Germany to Canada, trying to learn a new language, and her personal challenges of navigating life as a child who is visually impaired. With the help of her glasses, Anna demonstrates to her family that she is far more capable than they have given her credit for being. Author: Little, Jean ISBN: 978-0-064-40044-2
