A very sweet, short story of a pre-teen wrestling with beauty standards and family pressure to conform to lady-like behavior. Marlene loves running around, playing with her best friend, and looks up to her cool Tía Ruby. She does not love the weekly salon sessions her mom insists on every Sunday. Her Tía Ruby wears her hair natural- can Marlene figure out a way to tell her mom she wants do the same? I got to read an ARC of this comic and loved the nuanced conversations of anti-blackness in beauty standards and how well they were woven in to a very warm, loving, coming of age tale. The art is very charming, with a lot of soft pinks, golds, and browns. It gave the book the feel of a summer sunset.
