Description
xA heart-warming story about discovering new places, foods and faces . . .about finding your family's roots and planting your own.
"That first night in Samoa, Ana slept next to her grandmother on an old bed with sheets that smelled of mothballs. Now it was morning and as she opened her eyes, Ana saw that the other side of the bed was empty. She sat up and looked across the room. Mum and Dad were still fast asleep on their mattress on the floor. She pulled the mosquito net which covered the bed aside, tiptoed past her parents and went outside." Also available in the Samoan language translation O le Meaālofa mo Ana.Author: Jane Va'afusuaga
