Frizzy by Claribel A. Ortega

5.0

I can see why so many of my students love this book! The illustrations are lovely, and the story is realistic and inspiring, tackling an issue that might seem unimportant on the surface (how are hair is styled/looks), but goes so much deeper, addressing how we feel about our own appearance and how we often let others dictate how we think we should look. A great addition to elementary and middle school library collections, I think many young readers will be encouraged by how Marlene learns to be comfortable in her own skin (and hair!).
