'When a girl is given a coin to spend at the market, she thinks carefully about what to buy. She is tempted by the towering stacks of fruit, spinning rides and glass jars filled with sweets.

'But it isn’t until a stranger gives something to her, without expecting anything in return, that she knows exactly what to do with her coin.' (Publication summary)

'For many refugees the alphabet represents the start of a new language and a new future, but Anisa’s Alphabet is different. A poignant and highly imaginative telling of one girl’s story which will appeal to children and adults alike ... Come with Anisa, and see things through her eyes.'
