Pero Marlene odia ir al sal�n y no entiende por qu� nadie a su alrededor piensa que sus rizos naturales son bonitos. Despu�s de algunos desaf�os y momentos vergonzosos, adem�s de la ayuda imprescindible de Camilla y t�a Ruby, poco a poco Marlene emprende el camino de aprender a apreciar su pelo rizo y llevarlo con orgullo. __ A middle grade graphic novel about Marlene, a young girl who stops straightening her hair and embraces her natural curls. Marlene loves three things: books, her cool T�a Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and 'growing up.' That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have 'presentable', 'good hair'. But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and the much-needed help of Camila and Tia Ruby--she slowly starts a journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.
