A Boy Named Rose by Gaelle Greniller
A truly lovely tale of Rose, a boy in Paris in the 1920s, and his friends and family who mostly dance at "Le Jardin," a cabaret. "Le Jardin" is filled with women named for flowers and so Rose stands out as the only boy. However, he fits right in with the flowers as an enchanting dancer who soon snags the attention of Aimé. Together and separately they learn what it means to grow and blossom, even if that means taking a respite. The artwork by Greniller is exquisite and perfectly matches the tone of this charming and delightful graphic novel.
