Princess Kevin by Michaël Escoffier
3.0

Loved the illustrations by Roland Garrigue but was expecting more from the story. Because we've seen many kid books with this exact same theme of a young boy wanting to wear girl clothes and facing bullying because of that. Hope someone would have step up in the prince shoes. But mostly why Kevin wanted to be a princess in the first place?! To at least being able to start a discussion about it.

Finally I can see I struggle to read queer books when we have no presentation of the author/illustrator and/or a little text from them examining why they made this book. Usually knowing it's because the author is parent of a queer kid or its the queer kid themselves who contributed to the story, makes it way more sense. And helps to connect way more to the story.
