Julián Is a Mermaid by Jessica Love

5.0

Absolutely beautiful illustrations. There's surprisingly little dialogue, even for a picture book - it doesn't really "explain" to you why it's okay for a little boy to dress as a mermaid, it just shows you that it is. That was nice (even though there's nothing wrong with explaining, especially in a kid's book, but variety is nice). I also liked the mermaids being diverse in ages and body types, including older and fat mermaids on the pictures :)
