Dear Librarians,

My son was the inspiration for Gracie — when he was in elementary school, his teacher recommended that he get his eyes checked and he needed glasses. Since there were only a small number of students wearing them, I wanted to cheer him up by writing a story about how wearing glasses was fun. That was 40 years ago and he's now a university professor proudly sporting his glasses. I hope you enjoy this story about seeing things as they are whether you wear glasses or not, for Halloween and every day.

GRACIE MEETS A GHOST

"Her indelible good cheer is appealing, and her Mr. Magoo-like mistakes are gently amusing. Sena's textured collage illustrations employ torn paper to evoke Gracie's fur; the simplicity of the compositions gears the book to younger readers." —Vicky Smith, Kirkus Reviews

"This well-illustrated and simple story will delight younger readers who enjoy knowing more than the main character. I can already imagine young children at storytime shouting out GRACIE, IT WAS A GHOST ALL ALONG!!!" —jesstorytime.blogspot.com
