I believe this book is a must read to your students! It was introduced to me by my professor and if I can feel moved by this book, I know a child will be moved even further! Amazing Grace is a sweet book on the importance of believing in yourself. In this story we follow a little girl named Grace who loves playing pretend. Grace's school is putting on the drama Peter Pan and Grace knows who she wants to be, Peter Pan himself ! A few of her classmates discourage her, telling her that she doesn't look the part. Will Grace listen to her classmates opinions, or will she show them that if she works hard enough she can accomplish anything?
How I would use this book in my classroom:
I would read this to my students in the hope that they take a lesson on believing in yourself from it.
