Bought these for my first grader. I read Grace books when I was a little girl and am happy to share them with my daughter. Wish they could have been purchased as a set.

5.0 out of 5 stars ~~ You have the talent to be what you desire no matter your gender or color ~~
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2016

Just like any child, Grace loves to hear stories. For Grace these stories came from her grandma. Once she had heard them she would start reenacting them giving herself the most important parts. (Children will recognize most of the stories and get a kick out of Grace's costumes.)

One day the school teacher told the class that they were going to do the play Peter Pan. Who wanted to be Peter? Why Grace of course! Kids being kids told Grace that she couldn't play the part of Peter because not only was she a girl but she was black! Thankfully her mother and grandmother knew that Grace could be anything she wanted to and thus encouraged her. Read the entire book to see how it ends.

A truly delightful and inspiring, well written and illustrated book. This book was on our son's second grade "Suggested Reading List" so I purchased this USED from Amazon. I was not required to do a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful art and a wonderful message for kids

Beautiful art and a wonderful message for kids. My niece doesn't have the language to talk about race, and it's hard to talk to her about such a complex and sensitive subject without confusing her. This story helped her see the ways that someone who looks different is really the same underneath. My niece also likes performing, and she is close with her mother and her grandmother, so she saw that she had a lot in common with Grace (she also liked the cat). I know it was just the start of the conversation, but having books like this to read has really helped.

This book deals with issues of gender and race in a beautiful way! A creative and determined little black girl wants to be Peter Pan in the school play. With the help of her grandmother, she discovers she can be whoever she wants to be! She raises her hand high and ignores the negative voices of others. A beautiful story and an important message. Great for preschool-early elementary.

5.0 out of 5 stars "You can be anyone you want, if you put your mind to it."
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2014

Grace was a girl who dreamed big dreams. She loved stories and acted out the parts from stories she knew - Joan of Arc, a soldier hidden in a wooden horse at the gates of Troy, a pirate, an explorer, a doctor. When her class at school was going to perform "Peter Pan," Grace knew she wanted to play Peter! Lots of other children wanted to play Peter too, so the teacher held auditions to see who would earn the part. Two of her classmates said she could not play that role, because Peter Pan was not a girl, nor was he black. But her mother and her grandmother encouraged her to keep on dreaming. "You can be anyone you want," Grandma said, "if you put your mind to it." Grace worked hard learning her lines. When the audition was over, she was named Peter Pan, because she did the best acting of all the class.

What child, what adult really, has not been told, "You can't do that!" and given a long list of reasons why she can't. We all can do much more than even we can dream, so don't let anyone tell you, "You can't."
