Synopsis
Beribboned, fuchsia-loving, feather-wearing Nancy absolutely adores being fancy, and wants her very plain family to take part in the pleasure of frills too. After posting a purple-inked sign on the refrigerator advertising fancy classes, Nancy holds court in her bedroom, where she educates them about the many differences between "plain" and "fancy." Soon, covered in exciting accessories, everyone heads out to a fabulous dinner that proves familial love is stronger than anything, even without the baubles and style. With bright, free-flowing watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "This is my room before I made it fancy. I love being fancy."
Industry Reviews
"The poignant message about love needing no embellishment adds a heartwarming touch to this fun-filled tale."
Kirkus (12/15/2005)
"[A] delightful story of dress-up and cozy family love, with a charming protagonist who enjoys, and enjoys sharing, glamour...The cheerfully colored art is aptly exuberant, a riotous blending of color and pattern and action."
Booklist (01/01/2006)
"The message here is welcome--fanciness (unlike physical beauty) is available to anyone with a can-do spirit--and the writing is adorable. Nancy's joy is infectious, and her over-the-top elegant vocabulary pays off in a warm twist."
