This Is Anna

- Reading
- Take turns noticing what Anna adds to her picture, then invite the child to describe or draw a self-portrait of their own if they wish.
- Themes
- Making a self-portrait: Anna draws a picture of herself, and readers follow along as she makes it. The stated structure invites readers to follow an activity rather than presenting a supported evaluative claim about self-portraiture.
- Worth knowing
- Anna draws a picture of herself; you could talk together about what she chooses to show.
