Synopsis / Book blurb

"This was a groundbreaking book about race and gender when it was first published, and it remains an absolute standard - brilliantly told with superb artwork." - The Ultimate First Book Guide

Grace loves to act out stories. Sometimes she plays the leading part, sometimes she is in a cast of thousands. When her school decides to perform Peter Pan, Grace is longing to play Peter, but her classmates say that Peter was a boy, and besides, he wasn't black... But Grace's Ma and Nana tell her she can be anything she wants if she puts her mind to it.
