In this heart-warming graphic novel, Francès is a young seamstress working in a Parisian workshop. One day, after creating a scandalous dress for a client, she is recruited by a visiting princess who asks Francès to create fabulous costumes for her. But on the first day they meet, Francès finds out that the princess is none other than... a prince.

Jen Wang has written and illustrated a fun, beautiful and inspiring story about our dreams and the sacrifices we're ready to make to reach them. Both characters are fully fledged, and it's a pleasure to see them evolve in Wang's airy and colourful pages. Beside the enchanting story, I loved the warm colour palette and the balance between vignettes and negative spaces, which really let the pictures breathe. A lovely, lovely book, to put in every hands.
