Penelope Dyan
Do you know someone like Classy Nancy? Perhaps that someone is you. Perhaps sometimes you feel bad because you are different from everyone else. Be like Classy Nancy. You should never feel bad. You should celebrate your differences from other people because how you are different is the way you are you. Our differences make us who we are, unique and very special; because if we were all alike, life would be simply boring instead of glorious, fun and exciting. . .the way life is meant to be! Enjoy the illustrations and the poetry of Penelope Dyan and explore exactly who you are. Laugh and smile and put on your craziest outfit and play dress-up. Mix it up and laugh, and just be a plain old Classy Nancy. Dyan is a former K-12 teacher, published in ’The Kindergartner,’ as well as in ’Instructor Magazine’ and in ’Humpty Dumpty’ children’s magazine; and she is an award winning author.
