I’m working through our reading list and of all the the stack we just picked up from the library this was the only one I would want to own:

Amazing Grace about a little girl that doesn’t let anyone tell her she can’t be Peter Pan. 🙂 It handles the issues very gently but directly when her classmates say she cannot be the star of the play because she’s a girl and she is black, very good for discussing with kids but it’s a beautifully done story that sends a message all on its own.
