Synopsis by Alice Day
Overcoming limitations, whether real or perceived, is the topic of Reading Rainbow: Amazing Grace, as Tyne Daly reads the story of a young girl who manages to land the title role in a school play despite an assumption that she cannot due to her race and gender. Several guests appear on the program, including Whoopi Goldberg, Lauren Turner, and Sheila Haines, who discuss their experiences with obstacles in their careers. In the book review segment, kids analyze Great Women in the Struggle, Mirette on the High Wire, and Roses Sing on New Snow.
