NOW IN BOARD BOOK FORMAT. An unforgettable story about an adorable elephant, featuring stunning paper-sculpture artwork.


Nancy knows she's forgotten something. Something important. When she tries to remember, she thinks of all kinds of other things instead. She remembers things she knows and things she doesn't quite know. She remembers things one way, then another. Sometimes she remembers with her ears or her stomach or even her heart. But Nancy knows she's still forgetting something. It's only when
Nancy stops thinking altogether that she finally remembers the very important thing she's forgotten. Nancy Knows is the charming story of an elephant who remembers lots of things, except the very thing she is trying to remember. Each spread of this whimsical, arresting board book features fantastic miniature paper sculptures within expressive outlines of a puzzled pachyderm. It's a book not to be forgotten.

Praise for Nancy Knows

PRAISE FOR Nancy Knows:

"Colorful shapes in abstract design and amazingly detailed, seemingly three-dimensional objects demand intense, close examinations, and fingers will tingle with the wish to lift them off the page. It's a work to be shared in wonderment and delight. Pure fascination." --Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews

"Young's paper constructions that will have readers returning to these pages again and again." --Starred Review, Publishers Weekly
