In this book from the popular Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Iris Apfel, the lively (and accidental) fashion icon. In her childhood, Iris grew up in the Queens district of New York and was the only child at family events. Her grandmother would open a huge bag of fabrics, filled with every color and pattern, and let her play with pieces of cloth, which inspired her to develop a lifelong love for fashion.

Notable for her eclectic style, based on oversized glasses, vibrant colors, and bold jewelry, Iris was the subject of an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art at the age of just 84. This inspiring book includes stylish and quirky illustrations and additional elements at the end, such as a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the style icon's life.
