She wants to play the main character, but her classmates list many reasons why that is not possible. Grace perseveres and auditions, as a result she is chosen for the part of Peter Pan. This book teaches children they can reach their dreams no matter their race, gender, etc.

This RF book is a story with a message that all children should hear. It is about a little girl named Grace who wants to be Peter Pan in her schools play. But the other girls and boys say she can‘t because she‘s a girl and she‘s black. In the end, it doesn‘t stop her from becoming the role of her dreams. This is a great book to share to teach children about diversity and inclusion, and would be a great book for R.A.!

This lovely RF and New York Times Best Seller is about being yourself, regardless of what others may think. has great discussion ideas on race and gender roles as Grace wants to play Peter Pan in a play. This would be great for an AS on Mary Hoffman to study the impact this book and the whole “Grace” series has had on people around the world!

It's been #Amazing. Thank you @Cinfhen xxx #Movember

Ya‘ll, don‘t EVER let ANYONE tell you that you can‘t do something because you‘re x, y, or z. Let your light shine. Be yourself because yourself is pretty awesome. ❤️❤️❤️ The illustrations in this book are amazing. 5/1,001 #1001ChildrensBooks

Amazing Grace was such a cute and inspirational book! It is definitely one of my favorites now. It is a CRF book about a dark skinned girl with a huge imagination wanting to play Peter Pan in her school play but her classmates don‘t believe in her because she isn‘t a boy and doesn‘t look like the ideal Peter Pan. Grace is an iconic character and everyone should read it! I even read it to my boyfriend and puppy tonight. They loved it so much!

This is an awesome giveaway. I have wanted to answer, but, I could not think of anything till today.

A fellow teacher told me I was a Refrigerator, I light up with ideas, I am always full of wonderful things that my students need. I can cool down hot parents or kiddos. Lol. I help freeze and keep in place my students hopes, dreams and childhood imagination. She made me cry of course. lol
