My Day With Anka

Anka is an immigrant from Czechoslovakia, who does housework once a week for Karrie's family. In this story, readers will learn about a typical day that Karrie and Anka spend together; from making warm kalaches for breakfast, to window washing, vacuuming, and other household activities. A first book by Minnesotan Nan Ferring Nelson, illustrated by Bill Farnsworth, this is a warm story with a multicultural touch and could be used for a unit introducing children to different cultures.
