FACTS AND FABULOUSNESS
MAKE FOR NONBORING NONFICTION.
Feminism. Patriarchy. Beauty. Bad puns. An author and her unruly brainchild (Francesca, the fabulous feminist flamingo) come together for a picture book collab that will leave you feeling so empowered that you might just flip a dump truck.
Francesca the Fabulous Feminist Flamingo takes us on an extraordinary journey into the history and ideology behind the thing everyone wants and no one understands: BEAUTY.
Learn about blackened teeth in Japan. Force-feeding in the Sahara. Victorian Era tuberculosis chic. Educational and entertaining, this PG-13 graphic novel will take you around the world and across the ages. Francesca is a wide-lens view of the flippant, ever-changing nature of beauty standards and our bad habit of trying to meet them.
“If you’re a subversive feminist with a hunger for smarts coupled with astonishing graphics, this [book] is right up your alley.
”
“in this lighthearted romp, Julia Green manages to take a fun, healthy and, yes, serious, perspective on a dizzying array of often unhealthy beauty ideals and practices around the world, while still managing to be respectful of the importance and value these ideals have for the people who practice them.”
LOOK INSIDE!
A picture book…for adults.
“The Little Duck Who Lost His F*cks ” is a harrowing tale of a duckling's search for purpose in a purposeless world. When Little Duck makes the unsettling realization that he can no longer find his f*cks, he embarks on an expletive laden quest of self-discovery. A poignantly moving and inspiring story for that lost “ child-adult-adolescent-forest creature” in all of us.”
