This is a beautifully illustrated picture book where Anne from Anne of Green Gables tells of what she would do in life if she weren't herself. Much of it is fantasy (a gull, the wind dancing on treetops, a lily maid, a tightrope walker...). The illustrations are whimsical and lovely. The text is sparse, making it a great bedtime book for those parents who must read a stack at bedtime (surely that's not just me?) and want enjoyable but brief ones in the pile some nights. :) This book will make a wonderful companion to the novel, but also stands on its own as a sweet little picture book.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

This was a cute read about Anne Shirley, and would make a good introduction to her character. The illustrations were beautiful, but there wasn’t much of a story, so this was just okay.

There is a special place in my heart for all things Anne. I'm in love with this book, this is such a cute and easy read and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous.

As a long-time Anne lover, I knew I'd have to read this children's homage to one of the most beloved literary characters ever!

The book took elements from Anne of Green Gables and wove them into a beautiful poem that delighted this Anne fan. There have been many different Anne interpretations and some of them haven't been my cup-of-tea because I don't feel they hold true to who Anne really was.

But, this book was written how I imagine Anne would've spoken if L.M. Montgomery gave Anne license to write poetry for children in her books!

Not only was the story wonderful; but the illustrations were whimsical and sweet. I love how well the author and illustrator captured the spirit of Anne Shirley.

This book was delightful and perfectly captured the spirit of Anne Shirley. It reads more like a poem than an actual story, and for this reason I think it would appeal most to existing fans of Green Gables. The illustrations are soft and silly. Overall, this is a welcomed and charming addition to Anne's world.

My only complaint is that it's over. Such beautiful illustrations! And the references made me smile. A perfect little book for fans of Anne of Green Gables.
