My cover of this heart-warming book is bright pink: it’s joyous, stands out on my bookshelf, and makes me smile. Even better is the inside.

I re-read this gem of a book after seeing the film. It’s beautifully written, and the concept of not giving up on your dream is an important lesson to us all. It’s only a short book, but I promise it will warm your heart and stay with you…

When cleaning lady Mrs. Harris sees a Dior dress hanging in the wardrobe of one of her clients, she dares to dream that she might one day own one. The quest takes her to Paris…
From Kate's list on featuring fashion.
