Julián Is a Mermaid
Jessica Love
Winner of a 2019 Stonewall Book Award In an exuberant picture book, a glimpse of costumed mermaids leaves one boy flooded with wonder and ready to dazzle the world. While riding the subway home from the pool with his abuela one day, Juli n notices three women spectacularly dressed up. Their hair billows in brilliant hues, their dresses end in fishtails, and their joy fills the train car. When Juli n gets home, daydreaming of the magic he's seen, all he can think about is dressing up just like the ladies in his own fabulous mermaid costume: a butter-yellow curtain for his tail, the fronds of a potted fern for his headdress. But what will Abuela think about the mess he makes -- and even more importantly, what will she think about how Juli n sees himself? Mesmerizing and full of heart, Jessica Love's author-illustrator debut is a jubilant picture of self-love and a radiant celebration of individuality.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Jessica LovePublisher: Candlewick Press (MA)Published: 04/23/2018ISBN: 9780763690458Pages: 40Weight: 0.85lbsSize: 9.40h x 10.10w x 0.50dAward: Stonewall Book Award - WinnerReview Citations: Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 05/01/2018 - Book Of Special DistinctionBooklist 03/01/2018 pg. 54Publishers Weekly 03/05/2018School Library Journal 03/01/2018 pg. 87Kirkus Reviews 03/15/2018 pg. 106Horn Book Magazine 05/01/2018 pg. 110Shelf Awareness 11/26/2018BookPage 06/01/2018Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2018 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In StyleAccelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 195490 / Julian Is a MermaidReading Level: 0.8 / Interest Level: Lower Grade / Point Value: 0.5
