Overview
Annie Jane was growing bigger and bigger each day on Murray's Farm. Every day as she grew bigger on the farm her secret wish also grew larger in her heart. So Annie Jane looked up into Granny Jane's eyes and shyly asked, "Granny, when is my birthday?"...Travel back in time with Annie Jane as she reveals her ONE WISH in the entire world. You may find the wishful imagination of a young African slave girl is really similar to your own.Annie Jane's Wish is a delightful story based on the life of Annie Jane Toilver-Ware, shared throughout many generations in authors' Essie Dodd Martin's family, through the art of oral storytelling. Oral storytelling is how Africans, like the Annie Jane in this story, passed down their rich history to their children. Allow Annie Jane's Wish to transcend time and take you to a place in history though harsh, still gave room for a small slave girl to wish, dream, and hope of having and enjoying something of her very own.
