A cute little story about self-love and acceptance in a world that tells you you're less-than. Includes some discussion of intergenerational hurt. The ending felt rushed, with multiple people changing their minds really quickly and others getting totally dropped.

Frizzy could be used in a classroom to teach students about culture and show them the value of family and friends. This book could be used for grades 3rd through 6th to introduce graphic novels and bigger books. In this book, Ortega tells the story of a girl struggling to find confidence in her hair because of bullying and what is "good hair" in the eyes of her mother.

Internalized racism is discussed in a way that will resonate with those grappling with it for the first time. Bousamra's candy-colored palette makes this coming-of-age tale welcoming and joyful.
