Description
Frizzy is a heartwarming graphic novel about Marlene, a young girl whose greatest enemy is her hair salon. She struggles to accept herself, with frizzy curls that don't seem pretty enough.
Marlene loves three things: books, spending time with 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". This means straightening her hair every weekend so it can be "presentable" and good-looking.
With the help of Camila and Tia Ruby, Marlene starts a journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair. A story about self-acceptance and embracing what makes you different.
