Frizzy
Prepare to be swept away by the heartwarming tale of self-discovery and embracing one's unique beauty in 'Frizzy' by @claribel_ortega, brought to life by the enchanting illustrations of @rosebousamra. This story follows Marlene who struggles with societal pressures to conform to narrow beauty standards, particularly when it comes to her curly hair.
Marlene's journey to self-acceptance is both relatable and empowering, resonating with anyone who has ever felt pressured to change themselves to fit in. We have ALL been there (especially during those difficult pre-teen years). I loved that this story showed how important it is to have friends/family that will support you in your determination to be yourself. Plus, Marlene's wittiness was a delightful surprise.
