The Prince and the Dressmaker
by Jen Wang
Year Published: 2018
Wang has produced a wonderful graphic novel about acceptance of others, but even more so, acceptance of yourself.
Prince Sebastian believes that in order to become the king, he must give up a part of who he is--a boy who likes to wear dresses. But, his seamstress, Frances, sees beyond the stereotypes of what that "means" about him, and sees that it's just a part of who he is, like she likes to make dresses, he likes to wear them.
It's not a big deal.
But, when Prince Sebastian's secret gets out, will others think it's a big deal?
