Grace Suina signatureGrace Suina is a daughter of Ada Suina but I have not found any other biographical information on her at this time.  We will update her information after we learn more.

 

This Santa Claus storyteller was very well made so it is assumed that Grace has been potting for quite some time.  Her children resemble those on her mother’s storytellers.
