Book Summary

Grace loves stories and acting them out, always imagining herself as the main character. When her class decides to put on the play 'Peter Pan,' Grace wants to play the lead role. Some classmates tell her she can't be Peter Pan because she's a girl and because she's Black. Feeling sad, Grace gets encouragement from her Nana, who reminds her that she can be anything she wants to be. Grace auditions, performs wonderfully, and ultimately gets the part of Peter Pan, proving that imagination and self-belief can overcome any doubts.
