Frizzy is an amazing representation of why asking questions is important. I loved the boldness and curiosity of this little girl. I love she said adults always say “what matters is on the inside, but they are always talking about what the outside looks like”. So true and valid. I like how someone took the time to show her how to care for her hair to get the look she wanted and to feel confident about herself. This book tackles so many relevant issues: good hair vs. bad hair, the pressure to straighten and damage natural kinky hair to fit in, how kids have deep feelings that people don’t recognize, and how cruel kids can really be to each other. I wish I had a book like this when I was younger.
