Grace’sPastry Cart

8+DPK83

Meet Grace!Girl of the Year® Grace Thomas is an ideas girl. Whether

she’s inventing a new recipe or brainstorming ways to build a business, Grace is always dreaming up the next big thing.

“I know!” she says, tying on her apron. “I’ll set up a Pastry Cart and have a special bake sale. I can make pies, tarts, cakes, cupcakes—even macarons. Who could resist all

those colors and flavors?”

She makes baking her business.Grace has grown up around the delicious smells

and tastes of her grandparents’ bakery. Her aunt and uncle live in Paris, France, and own

a patisserie—a bakery that specializes in pastries and desserts. When Grace spends the summer

with them in Paris, she learns to make all kinds of delicious treats. And when she gets home, she’s

full of ideas to help her grandparents’ old-fashioned bakery.

Will Grace discover a recipe for success?When Grace visits Paris, everything seems so different. But she steps out of her comfort zone to try new things. Soon she’s learning to bake French treats and to say a few words in French. “Bon appetit!” (bohn ah-pay-tee) means “good appetite” or “enjoy your meal.”

You’re all done building … but the story is just beginning!

Now that you’ve built Grace’s Pastry Cart, you can tell

her story your own way. Recreate your favorite

moments, or build the next chapter in Grace’s tale!

Congratulations!

Grace is in Paris, and this is her aunt and uncle’s patisserie. It’s a holiday, and there will be a parade today on the street in front of the shop. That means lots of hungry grown-ups and

kids, and maybe even special guest stars in the parade. What happens next?

Grace is back in the United States, and she’s put in charge of the bake sale for her school. The money she makes will be donated to a special charity. How can Grace get the other kids excited about her bake sale? To which charity should she donate the

money? Does she raise a little money—or a lot? Does anything funny happen at the sale?

This is Grace’s first day working at her family’s traveling Pastry Cart. She’s excited to get started! Where does she set up the

cart? Does she get too many customers or not enough? What if it starts raining or snowing? What if she gets lost taking

the cart to the park where her customers are waiting? What if a stray puppy comes by and eats all her cupcakes?

Be a story builder! Anything can happen when you’re in charge. What other tales can you come up with?
