博客來Grace isn’t sure who she is, or how to feel good in her own skin and embrace the girl she sees in the mirror. Is she the sporty girl who loves competition, like her friend Emma? The smart one with all the answers, like Lilly? Or maybe the effortlessly funny one, like her new friend Anna? And when it comes to showing up with confidence for anything, from tryouts to her new volunteering gig, the questions only get louder.Everyone around her seems to know exactly who they are, but Grace just feels... invisible.
That is, until she finds a mysterious mirror hidden in her attic (yes, really!) and gets a surprise journaling assignment from her teacher that sends her on the ultimate quest. Suddenly, Grace is on a journey she didn’t expect: to not only figure out who she is but to learn how to be kinder to the girl she sees in the mirror.With friendship ups and downs, navigating the pressures of being a young girl, tryouts that test her courage, and some major self-discovery moments (plus a few laugh-out-loud fails), Grace begins to realize that being herself is her true superpower.
For anyone who’s ever wondered where they fit in, Grace’s journey will feel familiar-and maybe even spark some self-reflection! -as she discovers her unique self through the power of self-compassion, empowering exercises and reflections.
Developed by body image and physical activity researcher and advocate Vanessa Coulbeck, Finding Grace invites young readers to explore self-compassion and body acceptance - and discover their own inner strengths - alongside Grace as she goes on this journey.
