In the sequel to Amazing Grace, Grace longs for the family you read about in books. One day after Grace comes home from school she notices she has mail, it was a letter from her father inviting Grace to come to Africa to visit him and his new family. Grace accepts the trip. Once arriving, she has mixed emotions about this new family, but towards the end of the trip she realizes she doesn't just have one "perfect" family but two! I would use this book to describe different family types in lower elementary grades.

In this sequel to Amazing Grace, Grace longs for a "normal" family, a family with a father, mother, brother, sister, cat and dog. One day Grace receives a letter in the mail from her father in Africa, it was two plane tickets to come visit for her spring break. After her visit she realizes that she doesn't need this "normal" family, she has two incredible families. I would use this in my classroom to discuss different family types, and also to discuss that there really isn't a "normal" family. I would use this book anywhere from 2nd grade up to 4th grade.
