The art style is adorable and expressive with beautiful dresses. The story is sweet, about a young prince balancing his duties and his love for drag and the dressmaker who designs for him and wishes to be a popular designer. I’m glad this book exists and can be in schools since it’s a good starting point for learning about drag and the fluidity of gender.

TWs: outing, anti-drag prejudice

Um pequeno pedaço de doçura que devorei em poucas horas, numa curta viagem por Paris do século XIX, acompanhando a história da modista Frances e o príncipe Sebastian e a sua paixão conjunta pela arte da moda. 

Creio que qualquer pessoa queer vai conseguir se identificar com as dificuldades que Sebastian demonstra com a sua identidade, batalhando entre o seu verdadeiro eu e as realidades impostas a si pela sociedade; e na liberdade que Sebastian encontra nas roupas mais femininas e a sua identidade secreta, a Dama Cristália. 

A destacar a belissima edição portuguesa da Editora Desrotina que faz brilhar ainda mais a arte de Jen Wang.
