Julia Eccleshare's comment:
The much loved star of Amazing Grace is back for a touching new story about a very special time of year. Grace loves Christmas. She loves the nativity, the presents and being with her family. But this year everything is going to be different and Grace is sure that she is not going to like it! When Ma says a family from Trinidad are coming to stay Grace is horrified. Why should she share her special family time with someone else? But soon Grace learns that sharing makes Christmas even more special than usual! A warm-hearted story full of the excitement of a very special celebration.

Mary Hoffman's Ten Things You Didn't Know About Me:
I had my appendix taken out by Enid Blyton's husband! (Fortunately he was a surgeon)
My first book was read in manuscript by Richard Adams, author of Watership Down and he suggested sending it to his publishers, Rex Collings, after a dozen others had turned it down. They took it.
I didn't change my surname when I got married.
Amazing Grace and Boundless Grace (which is what Grace and Family is called in the US) were both turned into musical plays and performed in Minneapolis in 1995 and 1998.
When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a garage mechanic.
I didn't learn to drive until I was over fifty.
My husband is half-Indian. His mother was a Parsee, born in Bangalore.
One of my great-grandfathers was German, another Irish.
I am learning Italian and would love to have a house in Italy.
I never wear or own anything blue.
