Christmas for Greta and Gracie

By Yasmeen Ismail

If you have ever had a friend who is bossy and monopolizes every conversation, you will relate to Gracie. Greta is Gracie’s older sister, and though she means well, she is always taking over and doesn’t let Gracie do what she wants. Gracie gets a special “prize” on Christmas eve, though, that leaves Greta speechless. Perhaps this book could be used to teach children to give others a chance to choose and to take turns being the “boss.”
