Editor’s Note: We hope you enjoy this week’s Greetings from Gracieland, our fantastic webstrip from Jimmy Gownley and Ellen Toole Austin.  Along with the comic, you’ll find “Table Talk”, a terrific conversation starter to share with your children. Be sure to visit the Greetings from Gracieland website at www.GreetingsFromGracieland.com for more fun and inspiration with Gracie and join us here each Thursday morning for a new feature! LMH

Gracieland Table Talk: We would like to encourage you to share a family meal and Gracieland together. Each week we will be posting some discussion starters that you can share with your family. Share the webstrip with your kids, grab a plate, pull up a chair, and talk.

Ask your child:

What is Gracie's problem?

What did Lily want for her birthday?

What person in your life needs a hug?

How would the world be different if people hugged more?
