Rave Reviews for Grace and Her Friends!
Fun & Educational
Grace & Friends is a wonderful example of how we can educate children and their families on burn prevention as well as fire safety techniques while at the same time making it an interesting and important topic.
Books to Make Learning Fun
I teach music, so I love music being incorporated in ways to educate kids about health – I also love books that make learning musical concepts fun. The activity book and the book were kid-friendly, with bold illustrations and fun stories.
We liked reading and coloring it.
Ken, Thank you for the Grace books! We liked reading and coloring it.
Love,
Cameron and Greyson
Incredible Storybook Tool
It’s incredible how much of a tool a storybook can be for parents. Throughout Grace’s adventures, she, and her crew learn about the magical things that happen when you create, play instruments, sing, and listen to all kinds of music.
Small Note, Huge Impact
I love that the story shows that every note is important in different ways. Children need to understand that everyone, like Grace, is special and unique. I couldn’t wait to see if Grace would be heard.
Grace: Beautiful—Encouraging Music, Reading, and Celebrating Diversity
Where were books like Grace when I was a kid? Here is a series which is great for classrooms and home schoolers alike. Children from every background will find themselves in Grace and her friends. “Music is the one language,” Grace says, “the whole world understands!” As the host of a radio program dedicated to the Arts, I applaud the author for inspiring a whole new generation of readers and kids with a greater appreciation and passion for music and reading. I can think of few better ways to build a better world …
Year-Round Learning
With fire prevention taught only one week a year in schools, Grace & Friends provides a fun, interactive way for kids to learn about fire safety year-round!
Unique, Engaging and Fun to Read
I love the simple concept, the inclusion and education of music, and the beautiful, vibrant illustrations. A music note coming to life? That’s so clever!
