This bare bones biography features a plain sparse drawings and descriptions of
Coco's early life in an orphanage, learning more about what women’s fashion was
like, and coming up with her own way to change things.
This book reduces a fascinating, enigmatic, and talented women
into an incredibly dull story with drab and uninteresting imagery. I wouldn’t
add this to my library, as there are images of adult women in their underwear.
I would add a biography that had photographs and more information. I am not
digging some of these picture book biographies coming out lately that seem more about the artsy illustrations than the person themselves. I would consider myself a Coco fan, and this book
still doesn’t appeal to me.
