Elle pas princesse Lui pas héros

She’s raised like a boy; he has long hair like a girl. As for Cédric, he’s determined to play the role of the perfect boy. Three interconnected stories, three stories about tastes, preferences, and the role one is expected to play as a boy or a girl. 

Leïli spent her first eight years in the great outdoors with her mother and her babysitter. She dresses like a boy so she can hunt and avoid becoming prey to the Dahu, a predator that eats little girls’ dresses and pigtails. 
One day, she moves to the city with her mother and discovers the supermarket, school, and girls dressed like princesses. 
In her class, she meets Nils, a quiet boy who worries his dad: too skinny, his hair too long, and he cries too often. Together and in love, they’ll grow up accepting that they’re neither a princess nor a hero.
