Ages 4-8
Fanny, who wears eyeglasses, a headband, a tutu, leggings, and sneakers, is no ordinary girl. More than anything, she wants a high-fashion Connie doll. However, her mother does not like the way the doll looks, so Fanny is unlikely to get one. Fanny attempts to resolve this situation by making her own rag doll, which she loves well enough until her friends make fun of it. Fanny decides she likes her doll and brings it on a playdate.
The soft watercolor illustrations show this protagonist to be an independent thinker as well as a talented seamstress. Sometimes not following the crowd can have unexpectedly wonderful results.
