An adorable picture book about an alpaca who loves to dress up and
what happens when she learns her beautiful coat will be sheared.
Little alpaca Pati has a beautiful coat of fur that is the envy of the
other alpacas. Pati loves to adorn her fur with velvet bows, sparkly
hair clips, and flower headbands. When she learns that she will have to
lose her coat in the spring, she is heartbroken. She doesn't want to
give up what makes her beautiful, so she runs away to the city. Upon
arriving, Pati is amazed by the many vibrant goods for sale at the
market. She realizes that her alpaca fur is used to make everything and
decides that she must give up her coat to keep the villagers warm.
Incorporating Spanish terminology throughout, Alpaca Pati's Fancy
Fleece offers an endearing message about sacrifice and reminds readers
that it's what's on the inside that counts.
