Fantastic picture book for middle school students.

I confess, I knew (and still know) shockingly little about Chanel, and probably learned more from this storybook than I had gathered before. I found it engaging and interesting, though a bit superficial (it is, after all, written for young readers). That superficiality is enough to make me curious to know more detail, however, which is always good with a biography. Hopefully it encourages other young readers to do the same.

Un livre mignon, plutôt à destination des enfants, mais que j’ai trouvé très instructif puisque je ne connaissais absolument rien à la vie de Coco Chanel.
Le livre est très détaillé, bien écrit et j’ai adoré les dessins.
