Frizzy

A middle grade graphic novel about Marlene, a young girl who stops straightening her hair and embraces her natural curls. Marlene loves three things: books, her cool Tía Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and growing up. That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have presentable, good hair. But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and the much-needed help of Camila and Tia Ruby--she slowly starts a journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.Author: Ortega, Claribel A,author,Bousamra, Rose,illustrator Contributors: Ortega, Claribel A,author,Bousamra, Rose,illustrator Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 224 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: 1 Published/Release Date: 18 Oct 2022 Bic Classification: General fiction (Children's / Teenage), Comic strip fiction / graphic novels (Children's / Teenage), Personal & social issues: family issues (Children's / Teenage), Personal & social issues: self-awareness & self-esteem (Children's / Teenage) bicCode: Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Roaring Brook Press Author/Director/Artist: Claribel A.
