What Anna Loves
Andra Simmons, Gina Capaldi
Hardcover
(Heyday Books, Sept. 1, 2006)
Step back in time to the not-so-distant past, when playing on a farm was the most fun you could have. What Anna Loves celebrates the industrious life of a working ranch as seen through the eyes of a little girl. Anna exuberantly shares her love of everything from walnut-shell boats to fence mending, from the fun of packing oranges to hay rides. Just don t expect her to muck out those smelly stalls! Based on the true childhood experiences of Andra Simmons on her family s famous Hurst Ranch in the 1950s, this heartfelt tribute blends an appreciation for hard work with a reverence for the summer s simple pleasures inner-tubing, family picnics, and ice-cold lemonade.
