In Russia, right-handedness is demanded—it is the right way. This cultural expectation stifles young Anya’s creativity and artistic spirit as she draws the world around her in secret. Hiding away from family, teachers, and neighbors, Anya imagines a secret society of famous left-handed artists drawing alongside her. But once her family emigrates from Russia to America, her life becomes less clandestine, and she no longer feels she needs to conceal a piece of her identity.
Author’s note. Full-color illustrations done in acrylic and digital collage.
