Nesting Dolls

A heartwarming picture book about how one little girl´s unique beauty has been growing for generations in her family tree. Anyiaka is in awe of her gorgeous Gullah Geechee family-she wants to be beautiful like her older sister, Sorie, a great listener like her mom, and a talented artist like her grandma. But on today´s visit to her grandparents´ house, Anyiaka sticks out from the rest of the family like a sore thumb. She can´t seem to do anything right, and a trip to Grandma´s art studio confirms just how different she is from the rest of the family. But Grandma´s artwork-a special set of nesting dolls-also shows that what´s on the outside doesn´t always tell the whole story. While they may be distinct, together, her family´s beauty and inner strength have deep roots that have been growing within each of them for generations.
