The f-bomb and “b*itch” do appear in this graphic novel, but, honestly, kids know these words. Kids say these words, even if they don’t say them around their parents. This is an important graphic novel since there is so much discrimination against natural Black hairstyles. We’ve seen it happen. We’ve seen a referee force a high school student to cut his locs or forfeit his match. We’ve seen schools claim Black hairstyles are “inappropriate.” We see it in the workplace, too. So, yes, this is important.

The story about Lena broke my heart. Her white teammates wanted to touch her hair and talk about her hair so much that Lena developed a disorder and started to pull her hair out strand by strand. This is an example of how damaging it can be to focus so much on someone’s hair and to treat it as unnatural. The following story after Lena’s is an example of what a white dude should never say to or about his Black girlfriend. The sad thing is, I can see white dudes saying and thinking what the guy in this story did.

After reading this graphic novel, I suggest learning about and supporting The CROWN Act.

I did have a little trouble reading the cursive lettering. My eyes are not what they used to be. lol

The March series of graphic novels are powerful and important. They depict events that should be taught in all schools, to all children. Book One is about the sit-ins at segregated lunch counters. Book Two is about the Freedom Riders and their dangerous, brave journey.

I am currently reading Book Three.

I have highly recommended books before, but these three graphic novels are above all those other books. These graphic novels are more than pieces of history that need to be told. They are eye-opening and inspiring in a time when we need our eyes opened and to be inspired the most.

I adored this book. ADORED it! I wouldn’t even tell you to read the blurb. Just read the title, look at the cover, know it’s about a prince who likes to wear dresses, and then dive right in. This story is cute and sweet and just perfect. I don’t know what else to say but that I loved it and read it in one sitting. I’ve been reading a lot of graphic novels and this one was my favorite of all the ones I’ve read.

This graphic novel contains information about a woman’s body, history of gynecology and childbirth, myths and superstitions, miscarriage, fertility options, and loads of pregnancy research, which I really liked and appreciated. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be pregnant (perhaps not to someone who *is* pregnant because Lucy’s story could definitely cause anxiety and fear), but also to anyone simply interested in these topics, regardless of whether you want to have a baby or not.

I love the novel Speak, and I love the graphic novel. That’s it. That’s my review.

My favorite story from this collection is Holiday Homecoming by Joan Hohl, which I would gladly give 5 stars. The book as a whole is great for anyone who adores Christmas stories.
