Review
[These] eight stories about Grace and her friends are delightful. Their interactions are set against a bigger picture about the importance of sticking together when there are bullies about, and supporting each other through family complications. Grace's relationship with her very special Nana makes all these stories especially warm-hearted (Dina Rabinovitch Guardian )

An inviting bridge to cross from the picture books ... good-hearted, refreshingly delightful pieces (School Librarian )
