Spirit

Fanci Dancy Visits Her Japanese Tomadachi is the second in a series of children's books by Dr. Frances Swayzer Conley. This book, like its predecessor So What If Amy Can't Hear?, extends the ideal of intercultural communication and cooperation. It focuses on the open-mindedness that Fanci, the central character, typically displays with her peers. This young girl and her friend show the ease and innocence with which they are willing to dissolve barriers and to expand their horizons. In a relaxed afternoon setting, Fanci and Sashi are happy that their families have come together for what promises to be a long-term journey of sharing, learning, and growing. Perhaps without even being aware of the high-sounding expression, Fanci and Sashi follow their hearts along the path of multiculturalism.
