GAINESVILLE, Fla., Dec. 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Being different is not necessarily a bad thing. It means you're special in your unique way just as others are special in their own way. Meet Grace, a remarkable young girl, and discover There is Something Different About Grace in author Michael Kenneth Holloway's charming picture book.
Grace is a gifted young lady who has a physical challenge and a great imagination. She wears a brace on her leg but that doesn't dampen her enthusiasm for life. Grace is vibrant, full of life and a great friend. Her vivid imagination takes her on great adventures and brings people together. She dreams of going to space and meeting aliens. Her story shows that even though we are all different, we are all really the same.
With colorful illustrations by Elisabeth Alba, There is Something Different About Grace is a wonderful story that will teach children to understand and appreciate each other's differences. It doesn't matter how different each one may be. The important thing is to just be yourself and put aside differences to have fun.
