# Cuckoo for Coco

**>> It seems** like everyone has Coco Chanel on the brain as of late. You've got French actress Marina Hands playing Coco in the [movie adaptation](https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/20612-mikkelsen-joins-friedkins-coco-igor) of the book [Coco & Igor](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com). You've got French actress Audrey Tautou playing Coco [before she became famous](https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2007-05-20-tatou-chanel_N.htm) in another biopic.

And you've got the recently released children's book, [Different Like Coco](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com), which I picked up over the weekend after reading a [review](https://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/03/books/review/Goddu-t.html?_r=1&n=Top%2fFeatures%2fBooks%2fBook%20Reviews&oref=slogin) of it in The New York Times. I was actually quite curious to see how someone would break down Gabrielle Chanel's life for the book's recommended age range of 5 to 9 years. When I think of illustrated kids books, I don't really think of biographical content, after all.

I opened the book and the endpapers are filled with Chanel quotes, my favorite being: "Luxury must be comfortable; otherwise it is not luxury." -- because it is simply so true. The pages are beautifully illustrated with watercolor drawings, and the reader learns everything from how Chanel came to have a shop on Rue Cambon to how she became the creator of Parisian couture. The book gives details about Chanel's life, but keeps it light and doesn't get dragged down. A perfect gift for the aspiring little fashionette, or if you're like me, the book is great to satiate the child within.
