Just binged Flip. This is a book I wish I had when I was a teen. I'll have more articulate words later, but it's truly a treasure.

Jimmy the frog, wearing a white suit and bowtie, stands in front of a billboard depicting himself in the same getup. The billboard says "Cool... James Cool Cologne". A worried-looking Heathcliff looks over at Jimmy, and Iggy says "How are sales?"

Happy Book Birthday to FLIP, which has THREE starred reviews!!

From bestselling author Ngozi Ukazu comes a thrilling and fantastical tale about self-acceptance, black girlhood, and how walking a mile in someone else’s shoes can teach you how to finally see yourself. bit.ly/3IstIgk

A book cover. The title is Flip by Ngozi Ukazu. Text under the title reads: Seeing herself, through her crush's eyes.

The cover depicts a teenage girl with darker skin and light eyes glancing over her shoulder as she lifts a mask from her face. The mask depicts a flat drawing of a brown hair white boy with blue eyes.
