BLACK GIRL MAGIC
As Jenise Greene vividly recalls, she was amongst the first to witness what had unfolded for a considerable amount of time.
“Through these daily interactions, I saw firsthand the challenges children encounter when starting something unfamiliar,” Greene, during a recent interview with Making Headline News, said, recalling the slew of developments that empowered her to emerge as first-time published author. “It was through these moments that God inspired me to create a book that would help children understand and manage their emotions in a healthy and positive way.”
And what a remarkably compelling masterpiece it is become, Greene’s A Magical Day With Gracie, her highly-anticipated new book that officially debuted in November 2025.
As part of Making Headline News’ advance national coverage ahead of Sarah Jakes Roberts’ Fourth Annual Woman Evolve Conference July 30 through August 1 from Atlanta, Greene recalled how God had infused within her the vision for her new book sometime last year.

“As an elementary school counselor, I have had the privilege of working closely with students who are learning to manage their emotions, especially when facing new experiences,” Greene said. “The single, most underlying reason I chose to produce this book is my deep passion and commitment to helping students manage their emotions. I see every day how important it is for children to understand and express what they are feeling, especially during times of change or new experiences. This book is a reflection of my heart’s desire to provide children with the tools and encouragement they need to navigate their emotions in a healthy and positive way.”
An informative short read that is comprised of just 32 pages, Greene’s A Magical Day With Gracie vividly enlightens her readers that even the bravest hearts get butterflies sometimes, according to a thorough introduction of this author’s book via Amazon.com.
“It’s Gracie’s very first day at Butterfly Elementary and her tummy is full of flutters,” Greene writes via Amazon. “She’s worried about the bus, the cafeteria, and whether anyone will want to be her friend. But when a sparkly, kind butterfly named Luna appears, Gracie learns something wonderful: she can calm her worries and find her courage with Butterfly Breaths and happy thoughts.
“Through gentle storytelling and soothing watercolor illustrations, A Magical Day With Gracie helps young readers discover simple ways to manage big feelings. With Luna’s encouragement, Gracie learns that bravery isn’t about never feeling scared. It’s about believing in yourself, taking a breath, and trying again.”
