In MyaGrace Wants to Get Ready, a young girl with disabilities delights us with her enthusiasm as she gets ready to attend her school dance. MyaGrace bubbles over with joy every step of the way as she crosses items off her list.
MyaGrace has to choose her dress, her shoes, and her jewelry. Then she's off to the best time ever at the beauty salon where she has a wonderful surprise. It's so much fun getting ready for a school dance with MyaGrace and of course, she has to practice dancing, too! By sharing MyaGrace's story we celebrate her many strengths and abilities. MyaGrace has intellectual disabilities and cerebral palsy. "I am loving Finding My Way books. Having more than one book that follows the same young person (such as this one) is a terrific idea! Real stories with photographs make the teachable moments and situations perfect for young students. Keep up the fantastic work - we need more inclusive books like these."- "This is a fun story of self-determination, highlighting a real child's inclusion in a fun extra-curricular activity. MyaGrace's excitement and joy is evident in the beautiful photographs!"- MyaGrace Wants to Get Ready is the second title in the Growing with Grace series that follows MyaGrace as she grows up.
