With Grace is a spectacular, short documentary set in Kenya that tells the story of an upbeat, funny young girl named Grace. Co-directed by Dina Mwenda and Julia Dahr, the film uses Grace's authentic point of view and heartfelt narration to recount her childhood, her loving family, and the traumatic impacts of climate change--from severe droughts to crop-destroying rains. Critic Anna Clara B. praises the stunning visuals, the perfectly toned musical score, and the emotional opening scene of Grace reflecting on her life from a tree branch. It is a powerful, inspiring look at resilience in the face of environmental hardships.
I give With Grace 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18. By Anna Clara B., KIDS FIRST!

Grace, a witty 13-year-old girl, with big dreams and the rare gift of making everyone around her laugh, takes us back to her early childhood years with her close-knit, loving farmer family in Kenya: a time with lots of fun, but also a time when disaster almost split her family apart.
