Bookroo's summary

Nancy's spring break seems dull with her best friend away, but a set of glitter markers changes everything. With her mom's help, Nancy dives into the world of art, creating fancy portraits, collages, and splatter paintings. Will her artistic flair brighten her vacation and spark new inspiration? Discover the joy of creativity and the magic of imagination as Nancy transforms her glum days into a colorful adventure.

From the publisher

Luckily, it’s Nancy’s mom to the rescue! When she brings home a brand-new set of glitter markers, Nancy puts her trademark flair to très creative use and devotes herself to becoming a serious artist (or artiste, as the French say). After all, everything about being an artist is fancy, fancy, fancy–especially when inspiration strikes! Complete with instructions on how to create your own artistic masterpieces, Fancy Nancy: Aspiring Artist will get your creative juices flowing and your fancy in full swing.
