Grace’s
Pastry Cart
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.
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.
“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?”
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.”
Read more about Grace in her books from American Girl.

Sweet Ideas
A patisserie is a bakery that
makes pastries and desserts.
After working in her aunt
and uncle’s patisserie in Paris,
Grace can’t wait to share ideas
with her grandparents back
home. She even gets ideas for
her own business. What do
you think she could do?

Congratulations!
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!
Here are some ideas to
get you started:
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?
