Amazing Grace (Hardcover)

Empowered by the strength of her imagination and the love of her mother and Nana, this dramatic, creative girl constantly adopts roles and identities. When her class plans a presentation of Peter Pan, "Grace knew who she wanted to be." But no one thinks she "looks the part." She holds fast despite her classmates' opinions. Nana, meanwhile, reminds her granddaughter that she can do anything she imagines. When Nana takes Grace to see a famous black ballerina from Trinidad, the determined youngster pursues and wins the role of her dreams. Featuring colloquial dialogue and endearing characters, Hoffman's tale is truly inspiring.
