Description
Author/Illustrator Jessica Love describes her Stonewall Book Award-winning <em>Julián is a Mermaid</em> as "a story about a boy and his Abuela. It is a story about being seen for who we are by someone who loves us" (https://jesslove.format.com/julian-is-a-mermaid). On an outing with his abuela, Julián encounters three women who are in his eyes so beautifully dressed up that he thinks of them as mermaids and decides he wants to be a mermaid, too. The book is about unconditional love and acceptance.
