Change is difficult, which is why uplifting stories on transition are always welcome. Grace moves through life's changes with courage and optimism underpinned with a knowing confidence that she'll be fine on the other end of the challenge. As a senior military officer, I've seen first-hand the challenges children have moving every few years and living a life filled with change. A must-read for children who experience fear or resistance to change in their lives."

-Major General Stephen T. Denker, USAF (Retired)

Enchanting in its simplicity yet undeniable in its depth Everybody Loves Grace proves a beguiling story that draws its magic from the relationship between humans and the dogs that have captured our hearts.

With its muted colour palette and Susan Lavalley's classic illustrations, Grace's story is one that will linger in your thoughts long after the last page is turned whilst Katy McQuaid's prose make it a book that is especially fun to read out loud.

Canine tales prove ever-popular and Everybody Loves Grace is perfectly pitched for McQuaid's young audience. It's quirky, fun and genuinely captivating. More importantly, Grace's story is a life lesson that teaches children that change is not to be feared whilst helping them develop positive social skills and reflect on what it means to be kind and empathic towards others.

In the hands of another author Grace's story might have been little more than a sentimental IV drip. Steadily manipulating heartstrings without ever quite touching anything like true life but McQuaid gives us something that is not only smart but more importantly realistic.

Capturing many of the highlights of human-canine relations at their warmest and most affectionate McQuaid remind us of the incredible and unbreakable bond many of us have had the privilege of experiencing. Notably hitting the keynotes but without without being overly saccharine.

A wonderfully timeless and heart-warming story, Everybody Loves Grace proves a magical start to McQuaid's series and is unreservedly recommended.--The BookViral Review

What a delight! Following Grace on her adventures,

whether they are her first plane ride leaving the farm for

a city or her daily stroll around the neighborhood, shows

how poignant moments are created in the midst of daily

living. Grace's sharp-eyed and optimistic outlook on life

is something to aspire to, no matter what your age.

Just by looking deeply into your eyes, Grace loves and

supports you with her own kindness. With so many

distractions in today's world, we all often forget to just

"stop" and listen to our inner voice. The simple message

of profound acts of kindness that Grace demonstrates,

deeply penetrates each of our longings for inner peace

and calm and might even transform our own work in

the world.
