Grace And The Golden Rule
by Negrita Smart

Grace loves the Winter season. It is her favorite of all seasons because she loves to play in the snow with her friends. Winter is also Grace’s favorite season because she can wear her favorite purple scarf. Grace wears it every day until she meets Ruth. After meeting Ruth at school, Grace feels differently about playing in the snow and wearing her favorite purple scarf. This is because Grace learns a valuable lesson about how to treat other people.


5 out of 5

A wonderful book with beautiful illustrations, this will warm your heart and teach kids an important lesson. The illustrations are imaginative and colorful, and are sure to catch the eye of younger readers. The story is quick and easy to read, and kids are sure to enjoy meeting Grace and her new friend Ruth. I appreciated how Ruth’s family was supportive and helped guide her to make her own choices. While there is a brief reference to a Bible story at the end (it’s just one line), I don’t think it should dissuade anyone who isn’t Christian from sharing this book with young readers in their lives! (It’s a good lesson to learn no matter your faith).
