(Gifted) BOOK REVIEW: Anita and the Dragons by Hannah Carmona and illustrated by Anna Cunha 🐉 . ✨ Anita and the Dragons is about a valiant princesa who watches the dragons high above her, but she never lets them scare her, until she must leave the Dominican Republic to begin life in a new country. Will she be brave enough to take flight to new adventures? 👑 . 🖌 Hannah Carmona has written a beautiful story about a young girl with a big imagination, through whose eyes young readers learn about migration and the courage it takes for families to leave their life behind in search of a new home. That’s a big change for any child, so naturally Anita ends up being a bit scared of the dragons that fly in the sky, but she boards the airplane anyway, showing that fear is just a part of being brave. ✈️ This was such a joy to read and I hope that Anita ended up “reading by lamp light instead of gas lamps” in her new home! 📖 . 🎨 I loved Anna Cunha’s illustrations in A Story About Afiya, so I was very thrilled to see another picture book with their work! Again, Cunha’s style is a perfect match with this story. Anita is gorgeous, and the warm pastels bring across the hot climate of the Dominican Republic. 🌅 . Thank you to @lantana_publishing for sending me a copy! 😊 . . . #JohannasReviews #anitaandthedragons #astoryaboutafiya #annacunha #bookreview #bookrecommendation #weneeddiversebooks #picturebook #picturebooks #lantanapublishing #diversebooks #raisingareader #kidsbookstagram #momstagram #kidlit #childrensbooks #bookreview #picturebookreview #bookcover #bookcovers #bookcommunity #igbooks #booksofig #mybookfeatures #flashesofdelight https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2pLQIgN2D/?igshid=l0srhu2i4t6y
