Frances Dean Who Loved to Dance and Dance

32 pp. | Candlewick | August, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7306-2 $15.99
(3) K-3 Pigtailed Frances Dean loves to dance. "But when people were around, all she could feel were their eyes on her..." so she practices with birds, pets, and an old woman, all of which prepare her to finally share her moves in public. Sprightly pencil illustrations, digitally colored in a tawny, fall palette, pleasingly depict the transformation of a solitary child into a social one.
