Julián Is A Mermaid

by Jessica Love

This colorful story of a boy who wants to dress as a mermaid for Coney Island’s annual Mermaid Parade blew me away. With stunningly vivid artwork, spare text and characters you can’t help but love, the story warms my heart every time I read it. Its message — that those who love you will love you for who you are — can never be heard too often.
