Everyone Loves Gracie the Pit
Meet the Most Optimistic Pit Bull around!
Gracie sees everything through rose-colored glasses. She is convinced everyone in the neighborhood adores her, and no amount of crossed streets, clutched purses, or nervous glances will make her think otherwise.
When people hurry past, Gracie thinks they're rushing home to tell their families about the amazing blue pit they just saw. Every reaction is just another sign of how much the world loves her. Young readers will laugh at Gracie's hilariously misguided interpretations while rooting for this sweet, wonderfully delusional pup who refuses to see anything but the best in everyone.
Can Gracie's sunny outlook keep her out of trouble? Will anyone ever see her the way she sees herself?
