흑인 소녀 그레이스는 동화 이야기를 좋아합니다. 책을 읽거나 영화를 통해서 동화 이야기를 즐기지만, 특히 할머니가 들려주는 이야기를 좋아합니다. 그레이스는 놀이를 해도 동화 이야기의 주인공이 되는 것을 좋아하는군요. 때로는 잔다르크가 되기도 하고, 거미 아난지나 정글북의 모글리가 되는가 하면, 하이아와사, 알라딘, 외다리 선장, 트로이목마 등 온갖 이야기들의 주인공이 되는 것을 좋아하지요. 그런데 어느날 그레이스는 자기의 실력을 발휘할 기회가 생깁니다. 학교에서 피터팬 연극 공연을 준비하는데 누가 피터팬을 맡아야 할지를 뽑아야 하거든요. 연극 배역을 결정하는 날, 그레이스는 주말동안 연습한 피터팬의 역할을 멋지게 해냅니다. 그리고 연극공연은 그레이스의 눈부신 연기에 힘입어 대 성공을 거둡니다...

[ 영문 서평 ]

Ingram
Grace loves stories, whether they're from books, movies, or the kind her grandmother tells. So when she gets a chance to play a part in Peter Pan, she knows exactly who she wants to be. Remarkable watercolor illustrations give full expression to Grace's high-flying imagination.


Publisher's Weekly
``Grace was a girl who loved stories.'' Empowered by the strength of her imagination and the love of her mother and Nana, this dramatic, creative girl constantly adopts roles and identities: Joan of Arc, Anansi the Spider, Hiawatha, Mowgli, Aladdin. When her class plans a presentation of Peter Pan , ``Grace knew who she wanted to be.'' She holds fast despite her classmates' demurrals; Nana, meanwhile, reminds her granddaughter that she can do anything she imagines. When Nana takes Grace to see a famous black ballerina--``from back home in Trinidad''--the determined youngster is aroused by the performance, and wins the role of her dreams. Featuring colloquial dialogue and endearing characters, Hoffman's ( My Grandma Has Black Hair ) tale is truly inspiring. First-timer Birch contributes evocative, carefully detailed watercolor paintings, which add their own share of emotional power and personal passion.


Children's Literature
In this story, Grace snags the leading role of Peter Pan and plays it to perfection, despite classmates' warnings that girls and blacks shouldn't try to act that part.


School Library Journal
Grace loves stories, whether she hears them, reads them, or makes them up. Possessed with a marvelous imagination as well as a strong flair for the dramatic, she acts the stories out, always giving herself the most exciting parts. Thus, it is natural when her teacher announces a classroom production of Peter Pan , that Grace wants to play the lead. One classmate says she can't because she's a girl and another says she can't because she's black. When a saddened Grace relates the days events to her mother and grandmother, they tell her she can be anything she wants to, if she puts her mind to it. Inspired by her family's support, her own indomitable spirit, and an excursion to a weekend ballet starring a lovely Trinidadian dancer, Grace shines during her audition, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind as to who will play Peter Pan. Gorgeous watercolor illustrations portraying a determined, talented child and her warm family enhance an excellent text and positive message of self-affirmation. Grace is an amazing girl and this is an amazing book.


Kirkus Reviews
Grace loves to act out her favorite stories, taking every part from Joan of Arc to Mowgli. But when her class learns that they will be doing Peter Pan, the other kids tell Grace she can't have the lead: Peter's neither black nor a girl. Fortunately, Nana and Ma have contagious confidence in Grace's ability, and at the tryouts the class also agrees that Grace is best. It's easy to catch the wholesomely assertive spirit here--as Binch does, in this excellent debut, with her detailed, realistic watercolors; vibrant Grace almost springs from the page.
