Now out: If I Couldn’t Be Anne by Kallie George

Those who already know and love Anne Shirley will recognize her on the cover of this beautifully illustrated story. Clearly the author knows and loves one of the world’s favorite red heads.

In this book, Anne uses her wonderful imagination to think of who she would be if she were not Anne with an E; maybe she would be a tightrope walker or a grand lady drinking tea or…so many choices. Anne then imagines who she would not choose to be as, for example, someone following a recipe. At the end of the story, our narrator concludes that she would like to be Anne of Green Gables.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review. This book will be enjoyed by Anne lovers and those who value the places imagination can take one.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
