Award-winning author and illustrator Charise Mericle Harper creates a laugh-out-loud picture book about making something out of nothing and the power of imagination in this companion title to I Cannot Draw a Horse.  The Horse wants a bicycle. A bicycle is hard to draw. The Book cannot draw a bicycle. But the Book CAN draw shapes.  Can the Horse and the Cat build a bicycle from shapes? Or will their dreams end in pieces? Featuring the same quirky contemporary voice and kid-friendly comic illustration style as its predecessor, I Cannot Draw a Horse, this children's metafiction book is an art lesson about creativity and determination, wrapped around a humorous narrative. Readers who have enjoyed other fourth wallâbreaking books like B.J. Novak's The Book With No Pictures will appreciate the interactive elements in this book for children ages 3â8. Praise for I CANNOT DRAW A HORSE  âCreative an loaded with humor, this story will have kids giggling in seconds and trying their hand at drawing a horseâor at least a gumdrop.â âBooklist (starred review)  âPart Ed Emberley, with a dash of Pigeon, and entirely meta.â âKirkus Reviews  âHarperâs illustrations make so much of so little, using a very limited palette and simple shapes, inviting readers into an artistâs notebook. With a little imagination and some paper, ânothingâ can become quite something. âHorn Book Magazine  âAn easy-to-read text with exclamatory speech bubbles and pictorial antics will tickle funny bones in this off-kilter circular story.â âSchool Library Journal

The third-grader Grace Stewart gets stuck with the name "Just
Grace" when she tries to distinguish herself from the three other
Graces in her class. Grace is plenty different, though. She has a
"teeny-tiny superpower," for instance--she can tell if someone is
unhappy and often tries to fix it. When she concocts an elaborate
scheme to help her neighbor Mrs. Luther feel less lonely, however,
her good intentions backfire rather dramatically. Headlines such as
"What Happened At Home That Was Completely Surprising" and "Spying
For A Good Reason Is Not Bad" keep things lively, as do various
lists ("Boy Things," "Rooms You Can Jump In"), comic strips, and
the author's cartoonish spot art. A funny glimpse into a
third-grader's madcap world of dashed hopes, perceived enemies,
possible friends, cats, and sandwiches.Don't miss the Just Grace
website www.justgracebooks.com with its superpower quiz, podcasts,
excerpts, and downloads . . . or the other books in the Just Grace
series: "Still Just Grace," "Just Grace Goes Green," "Just Grace
Walks the Dog," "Just Grace and the Snack Attack," "Just Grace and
the Terrible Tutu," and "Just Grace and the Double Surprise"
