A lovely story about the gender expansive Prince Sebastian and Frances, his best friend and personal dressmaker. Prince Sebastian spends his days courting reluctantly courting princesses and his nights taking Paris by storm as the beautiful Lady Crystallia. When Lady Crystallia and Frances become the biggest fashion provocateurs around the increased attention threatens to undermine Lady Crystallia’s secret identity and his very throne. What will Prince Sebastian’s parents think? What will the kingdom think? Does it matter? A sweet graphic novel that will make you smile and a vital representation of gender expansiveness. Fans of Rain Telgemeier will love this one!
