Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman (1991) has over 30 resources on the TPT platform, so it seemed like a book I should read. The cover art portrays Grace as a happy, friendly child anyone would want to meet. Caroline Binch’s illustrations deliver on that promise. Grace fills the book with authentic enthusiasm. The first several pages show an child with imagination, a self-starter. So when she must transform her creative play into a real life performance, we know she will succeed. But how? She, like all of us, benefits from a role model. Her grandmother finds one. And Grace is amazing.
