Grace

<p>Grace's name may be a bit of a misnomer, for graceful she is not. She wants to be a ballerina, but dancing is not her forte. &quot;Give it up, Grace,&quot; the other girls tell her. Saddened, Grace turns to drawing--and when she does, she starts to feel better. Grace is good at drawing and the other girls love her artwork. Grace finds a way to be part of the ballet using her true talent - she paints the sets! But the indefatigable Grace also keeps dancing in this easy reader that encourages youngsters to celebrate their own special gifts.</p><p><b>About the Series</b></p><p><b>I Like to Read®</b> books are picture books written and illustrated so that even the newest reader can enjoy a satisfying, quality literary experience.
