Miranda is eight years old. She loves soap bubbles and birds that fit in the palm of her hand. But more than anything in the world, she likes to listen to all kinds of stories, especially if they are real. This time, Miranda goes shopping with her mother for clothes (the worst thing you can do with your mother!); mom wants her to dress up like princesses from fairy tales who can hardly move in their dresses, and Miranda wants to walk only in tracksuits. "Can we invent our own style, as Coco Chanel did?" said mom.
This is a fascinating story about Coco Chanel, a French fashion designer. Her unique vision of fashion and the famous No. 5 perfume made Coco famous in the West, despite her humble origins and the obstacles she faced. She was even forced to leave the country as a traitor! She was an inventive and multifaceted woman, which helped her become a privileged person in France at the beginning of the 20th century.
