Grace really did a great job of connecting with her young interviewers--showed she's a school visit pro!
I think the thankfulness answer was particularly revealing of her "glass-half-full" view of life. And yet--no goody two shoes!-- I like the way she brought up cultural discomfort/shame, a real issue in areas where few people look like you. Hopefully this is a disappearing problem thanks to books like Where the Mountain Meets the Moon.
I agree with your review of Grace's appearance. She didn't seem nervous at all...or hesitant with her answers to the children's and Al Roker's questions.
Grace is definitely a pro at connecting with kids. She's genuine and so personable. And what a wondeful smile she has!!!
