With over a million copies sold this classic story of Grace, her Ma
and Nana is a timeless classic of courage and determination, loved
and cherished by children the world over. Grace was a girl who
loved stories. She didn't mind if they were read to her or told to
her or made up in her own head. She didn't care if they were from
books or on TV or in films or on the video or out of Nana's long
memory. Grace just loved stories. Grace loves to act out stories.
She spends her time dressing up and putting on performances for her
beloved Ma and Nana, usually helped by Paw-Paw the cat. Sometimes
she plays the leading part, sometimes she is 'a cast of thousands'
and sometimes, when they're not too tired, she can even convince Ma
and Nana to join in her magical story creations. When Grace's
school decides to put on a performance of Peter Pan, Grace longs to
play the part of Peter. But her classmates say that Grace
absolutely can't play that part. Peter was a boy, and besides, he
wasn't black... But Grace's Ma and Nana tell her she can be
anything she wants if she puts her mind to it... A touching and
beautiful picture book about being true to yourself and not letting
anyone hold you back. This is the perfect story for children
everywhere to remind them to be themselves no matter what the world
tells you. At last! A book about the thousands of children who all
longed to see themselves reflected in stories. This is a message
that we still need - that we can be and do anything we want if we
just put our minds to it. Nana never said a wiser word. So, keep on
enjoying stories like Grace and, most of all, believe in yourselves
and you will soon be flying, just like Peter Pan. Baroness Floella
