Julián Is a Mermaid
"Julián Is a Mermaid" by Jessica Love is a gentle picture book about a boy who longs to dress as a mermaid and is lovingly affirmed by his abuela. Through sparse text and luminous watercolor-and-ink art, it captures the magic of imagination, the joy of self-expression, and the quiet power of unconditional love. Parents and educators treasure it for opening conversations about gender expression and acceptance with very young children in a way that feels dreamy rather than didactic. It’s a brief story, but the artwork invites endless re-reading, making it a cherished, high-value addition to many home and classroom libraries.
