Thank you Bookish First & First Second books for my free book.
My ๐ญ:
โ I wonder why our best meant not ourselves and why adults always told me so many things that did add up.โ
โ Be yourself, honesty is the best policy, and then donโt be yourself, be what other people want.โ
Good hair = Straight hair.
โAll hair is good hair.โ
Phew. ๐ฎโ๐จ
Growing up my mom relaxed my hair
religiously and I HATED it so I can definitely relate to this story. Having good hair was a phrase I heard growing up a lot as well.
Loved that this story also touched on anti-Blackness when it comes to hair in certain communities. This graphic novel tackled sensitive topics such as racism, colorism, bullying and grief all in a realistic way. Frizzy has made my top reads for 2022 and I highly recommend you check out this story.
The illustrations for this novel were top notch and so vibrant and full of life!
