Brave Little Gracie is a simply, sweet, and heartwarming story about a small and kind dog named Gracie who did not let the negative parts of life impact her happiness.
Gracie was a very small Yorkie who had a whole LOT of love to give. Unfortunately, the home she lived in was not a nice place – it was very dirty and run down and the owners were mean. Gracie lived with many other dogs, none who cared to play with her. But none of this stopped Gracie from being happy.
She did have her sad moments and would dream of living with a nice family. Then one day, her dream started to become true. She got a new mama who she immediately loved. Gracie was nervous to meet her new big sister Miss Mia but soon learned she had nothing to worry about. Gracie Miss Mia became best friends. They were a happy family.
One morning, when Gracie woke up, she could no longer see. She was scared. Her mama took her to the vet who said there was nothing they could do to help. Gracie’s family did their best to protect her, keep her healthy and happy. Over time, Gracie’s sense of smell and hearing grew stronger. And eventually Gracie could do everything that the other dogs could do. No one could tell that Gracie was blind.
Soon Gracie’s family grew bigger – she got a Papa and another sister. Gracie was living her dream.
This story made my heart melt as I read it. Through the illustrations and prose, you can see what an adorable and loving dog Gracie is and fall in love with her. Even when the negative situations are being described and depicted, you don’t feel a sense of darkness – you feel sadness with a touch of hope. Very soft colors were used for both the illustrations and wordings which added to the tone of the book.
Through the story of Gracie, children will learn to try to keep a positive attitude during the tough times and not let bad things get in their way. They will learn they can overcome any obstacle.
Animal lovers (and non-animal lovers) will really enjoy this book. I highly recommend it.
