Mary Hoffman and Caroline Binch bring their heroine to brilliant life in this charming sequel to the award-winning Amazing Grace. When Grace gets the opportunity to go to Africa and visit with her father and his new family, she feels a little strange. But Nana says families are what you make them, and Grace is going to make the most of hers "As assured and uplifting as its predecessor." -Publishers Weekly, starred review "Validating, uplifting, and bound to please." -School Library Journal, starred review A Reading Rainbow Book * A Parents Choice Best Book of the Year A Parents Magazine Best Book of the Year * Parenting Magazine Reading Magic Award An NCSS-CBC Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies
Although not as good as "Amazing Grace", this sequel touches nicely on the life of a youngster whose mother and father have divorced and life as she knows it. It demonstrates that although her father started a life with a new family, Grace is still a very important part of him and his new family.
Great book about non-traditional families

This was a great book about non-traditional families which have now become the norm. The illustrations were great. My four year old and my 17month old both enjoyed it.
Beautiful Story!

I had to read this book for a class I'm taking in college -- I'm reviewing children's books. It was actually nominated in 1997-1998 for a "Show Me Reader" award.... it is a local award in the state of Missouri. The language and writing style is rich and varied. The book has beautiful illustratios. Text and illustrations are well integrated. I highly recommend it!
