When orphan Anne Shirley arrives at Green Gables, she hopes she finally has a home—so she is heartbroken when Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert tell her they were expecting a boy to help around the farm. Is it her fiery red hair they don't like? Or her nonstop chatter? Yet somehow, even when she's getting into trouble, Anne has a way of spreading joy all around her. This picture book adaptation of L.M. Montgomery's 1908 novel introduces readers 4 to 7 to one of the most beloved characters in children's literature, while Ellen Beier's watercolors capture the rugged beauty of Prince Edward Isle.
