The Prince and the Dressmaker
by Jen Wang
What a delightfully sweet story. A prince who loves to wear dresses and masquerade as "Lady Crystallia" and the seamstress who has to secretly create his gowns discover that being true to oneself is more important than making others happy. A gently romantic and inspiring tale perfect for tweens and teens who march to the beat of their own drum.
I really love Wang's illustrations and the color palette is a deliciously muted pastel confection with pops of bright colors, especially Sebastian's red wig. The panels are not overwhelmed with text and Wang really allows the reader to sit and absorb every detail, every sparkle, every emotion. Also, it looks like everyone is constantly blushing and it is so adorable. Just pinch those cheeks!
Highly recommend!
So sweet, and cannot wait to read with my Book to Art Club in September 2019.
