Fans of Grace know that she's the girl who loves to act out stories. They've followed her through stage success in the bestselling picture-book "Amazing Grace", seen her discover in Grace & Family that her idealised family dreams aren't what real life is all about.

Does she have to be pink and floaty, with a crown? Grace and her friends start finding out about princesses in China, Egypt, the Philippines and Zimbabwe - and on the day of the parade, helped by Ma and Nana, Grace's school has the most interesting float of all. As for Grace - she's a sensation!
