Bookroo's summary
In a world where right-handedness is the norm, Anya's left-handed drawings are her secret rebellion. In Russia, she hides her art from everyone, dreaming of a world where she belongs. When her family moves to America, Anya faces a new reality where she can finally reveal her true self. Will she find the courage to embrace her identity and let her creativity shine?
From the publisher
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.
