Title: Not suitable for children adopted from Russia
Review: This book was purchased for my grandchildren, both adopted from Russia. They will not receive it. Guess I'll give it away to be read by children who have no emotional interest in Russia. The tone of the book is too negative. Yellow is for the palace where Anastasia lived and played and could make anyone smile. She and her family were killed. Red is for communism. It didn't work but Russians "have not lost hope for a better future." Even the weather -- not that Russians enjoy their cold weather sports but "they make the best" of the weather with sports. Someday our grandchildren will learn more about the land of their birth and the problems the Russian people have faced. However, at elementary school age, they don't need to hear the worst first.
