Gracie Wei #1: You're a Winner, Gracie Wei

★ “A lovely beginning chapter book….celebrating unconventional wins is a wonderful choice for those seeking transitional chapter books.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“Gracie Wei’s single-minded pursuit to please her family and the pressure she puts on herself will resonate with young readers, as will the affirming depictions of the lasting effects of loving support.” —Publishers Weekly

“The story….ultimately delivers a reassuring reminder for young readers: being special isn’t about winning but about how we treat others.” —Booklist

“Thoughtfully explores ambition, compassion, and the rewards of internal growth.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Gracie’s wit and slight snark soften the bluntness with kid-authentic humor that will surely garner some giggles….The short sentences, heavy dialogue, and cartoony black-and-white pencil art put this somewhere between Princess Posey and Alvin Ho for newly solo readers.” —The Bulletin
