Grawnma Becky's Bread
Little Sage is feeling sorry for herself because she did not get a part in the school play and thinks she is a failure. Retreating to her beloved Grawnma Beckys house, she seeks comfort in the warm and cozy kitchen, a grandmothers understanding and soothing words, and maybe a bit of something sweet to take her mind off her bad feelings. What she finds, instead, is a mystical closet filled with magical outfits that let her be anything she wants to be: a ballerina, an astronaut, a nurseand on and on they go. Grawnma Becky lovingly explains that feelings are like clothesif you put on a happy face, you will have good things, but if you wear a frown you will encounter many bumps on your path. With love, encouragement, and a mystical touch, Mark R. Ellsworth presents an engaging childrens tale about the benefits of a positive outlook.
