In Anancy&#8217;s Family Reunion, Anancy has been up to his old tricks, but a visit from family will change everything &#8211; or will it? This new and imaginative take on Anancy folklore will reintroduce a new generation of children to a character deeply rooted in African and Caribbean oral tradition. Anancy&#8217;s Family Reunion is appropriate for all ages, and children with reading abilities at the third grade (US) or year four (UK) level can read the book independently.
