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.
