What is Grace And Family about?

Grace is excited when her Papa invites her to visit him in The Gambia. She imagines a wonderful fairy-tale family waiting for her, but the reality is more complicated. As Grace explores a new country and meets relatives she barely knows, she begins to wonder what makes a family. With help from Ma and Nana, she discovers that families can take many shapes—and that love, understanding and shared memories matter more than living under one roof.
