"When I grow up, I want to be just like you," said Grace. "That's very kind of you," said Grandpa Walt, "but I can think of nothing better than you simply being yourself." Six-year-old Grace aspires to be an artist like her beloved grandfather Walt. Each week, she goes to his house and watches with great joy as he paints. Of course, not everyone appreciates Grandpa Walt's artwork. But as Walt tells Grace, "Some people appreciate the hard work while others just want the painting to be finished. But you can't be distracted by either group." When tragedy strikes, Grace takes it upon herself to honor Grandpa Walt in a special way. Through her act of love and kindness, Grace's family discovers an amazing secret about Walt's final, unfinished masterpiece. "Leaving a legacy is the dream of every artist. Josh Armstrong's tale reminds us that fame and fortune can never replace true love and admiration. Taylor Bills' illustrations vividly bring the characters to life and wonderfully enhance this emotional story." ―Barry Cook, Co-director of Mulan and Arthur Christmas "A touching tale!" ―The Children's Book Review "Inspiring, thoughtful story." ―The Reading Tub "I will not lie, I had a tear as I closed the book, but I also had a revelation of how much memories matter." ―Espacularaiesa.com " Picture of Grace is for anyone, young or old, who is facing a challenge similar to Grace's. I hope the book encourages them to remember, honor and stand up for those they love." ―Josh Armstrong
