For parents

What Parents Should Know

Conflicts stay close to elementary-school life: jealousy, exclusion, rumors, embarrassment, changing friendships, school projects, sleepovers, pets, and worries about disappointing people. Grace makes mistakes, but empathy and repair remain at the center of the stories.

Grace's doodles, lists, and conversational narration break up the text for developing readers. The humor is gentle, with little physical peril and no continuing villain.
