Frizzy
by Claribel A. Ortega
Thank you Netgalley and First Second Books for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
First off the artwork was absolutely stunning in this and the story really tugged at the heartstrings. There were a few times I teared up at how Marlene was treated by family and classmates. So many Black and brown people are told at a young age that kinks are "bad hair" and straight hair is "good hair" when all hair is good hair. The scenes with her tia showing her how to do her hair was so beautiful. Definitely a five star read if I was able to finish in one sitting!
