Gracefully Grayson

Gracefully Grayson
By Ami Polonsky

Grayson appears to be a regular 6th grade boy--but inside, for as long as she can remember, Grayson has felt much more like a girl.
And she is dying to dress and act and be who she really is, and to let everyone else know too...but major obstacles stand in her way--misunderstanding, teasing, bullying.
A compassionate teacher boldly gives Grayson the lead role of Persephone in the school play, and this causes upheaval in the school community and within Grayson's own family. An understanding uncle also helps pave the way for Grayson to gain the courage and confidence to finally show the world who she really is: a girl.
