Reach for this book when your child is begging for a pet or feels that their parents don't trust them with 'big' responsibilities yet. It is a perfect choice for navigating those middle-elementary years where kids are eager to prove their independence but still live in a world of rules and school-day mishaps. Through the eyes of the creative and relatable Grace, children learn that being responsible isn't just about doing chores, it's about consistency and problem-solving. In this installment of the popular series, Grace creates a 'cardboard dog' on a skateboard to demonstrate her pet-parenting skills. The story balances lighthearted school-life humor with the very real emotional weight of wanting to be seen as grown-up. Parents will appreciate how the book models creative thinking and resilience while addressing the nervous feelings that come with visiting the principal's office or making a mistake at school. It is an affirming read for any child who feels they have big ideas that the adults in their life haven't quite recognized yet.
