"Amazing Grace is about a little girl who loves acting out stories, those told and read to her by her grandmother as well as ones she reads on her own

She also makes up her own stories, acting out the most exciting parts. When Grace is in her playworld everything to her is real

In her imagination, she becomes the characters: Anansi the Spider, Joan of Arc, Mowgli, Hiawatha

She's a pirate with a peg leg and a parrot, an explorer, and a theater director of a production of 'Cinderella' in which she casts a boy in the title role

Grace's mother is very practical and hopes that Grace will become a doctor, a lawyer or a professional person given the opportunities she herself didn't have

Her grandmother, Nana, believes that Grace can be whatever she wants to be. Grace is told by two of her classmates that she can't be Peter Pan in the school play because she is a girl and because she is black

In the end, Grace shows us that she can indeed do anything she sets her mind to

I selected the West African Anansi story and use traditional storytelling techniques such as songs, rhythm and repetition to teach Grace and her friends a bit of folk wisdom" ~ Shay Youngblood

Cast of 3 women, 4 girls and 4 boys is required
