Sweetly-illustrated, here is a short take on the life of Coco Chanel. Famous for her "little black dress" and iconic perfume, Chanel's young years were spent in an orphanage. Drive, ambition, and an opportunistic spirit helped her develop a fashion house and clientele. What is not (understandably) included in this child-friendly version of her life is information about her suspect associations with Germans in Nazi-occupied France, associations that have been chronicled in a documentary and in print in recent years.
