Gracie’s Gift is a precious little story book. The story of Gracie truly hit home for me as I think it will for anyone who has a little princess (or two, or three …) in their life.
Author Andrea Trosclair takes us on an inspired journey of love as Sean Gautreaux brings Gracie to life with splendid illustrations.
The story opens the morning of Gracie’s birthday. She’s wakes and climbs out of bed excited about the adventures that are in store for her birthday celebration. Everything is perfect as she dances about her room until she spots the bow sitting next to her birthday dress. You see, Gracie does not like wearing hair bows.
She begrudgingly gets dressed and her mother carefully places the matching bow in her hair. Gracie’s mother explains that all the birthday gifts are beautifully wrapped with beautiful big bows.
She explains to Gracie that she is a gift from God. A gift that her mother is eternally thankful for. Because of this, her mother places a big bow in Gracie’s hair to remind her that Gracie is indeed a precious gift from God. A gift tied up with a beautiful big bow.
Why did the story of Gracie’s Gift mean to much to me?
When our daughter was growing up, I tied big ribbon bows in her hair every single day. It didn’t matter if she was wearing jeans and playing in the backyard or if she was dressed in her Easter dress hunting eggs. Now, many years later, I have the blessing of tying up our grand daughter’s hair in brightly colored bows. I, like Gracie’s mother, am ever so thankful for these precious little girls that are gifted to us by God.
Gracie’s Gift is a delightful story book available for $16.95 at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
