K-Gr 4—MyaGrace, who has cerebral palsy, loves to listen to music, play the piano, and dance. When her friend Emily invites her to a dance, MyaGrace and her mom make a list of all the things they will need to do in order to prepare. Readers are invited into MyaGrace's world through beautiful photographs that show step-by-step how she achieves her vision. (She picks out shoes, a dress, and accessories, then gets her hair done and even has the chance to wear makeup.) MyaGrace's excitement shines through in the photographs, which are accompanied by both English and Spanish text, making this book ideal for libraries serving English and Spanish speakers. This relatable story is told from MyaGrace's point of view. The big font, organized text, and placement of the large, clear images, which show scenes of MyaGrace's loved ones and home, will help children feel welcome and part of the tale.
VERDICT This is a perfect addition to the series, which promotes confidence and self-determination in kids with disabilities. Recommended for all children's collections.
