Shortlisted for Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2019
& now available in paperback
“This is Jessica Love’s debut picture book, and every choice she makes – the spare text, a color palette both muted and lively, full-bleed pages that make even subway cars and apartment rooms feel as expansive as the ocean – imbues the story with charm, tenderness and humor…Alongside Julian, readers learn that anyone can be a mermaid: All it takes is love and acceptance, a little imagination and a big swishy tail. ”
The New York Times Book Review
“In this bravura feat of understated storytelling, the richness of Julian’s free-floating imagination is caught in images layered with colour, movement, muscle and life, celebrating black and Latino experience.”
Imogen Russell Williams, GUARDIAN REVIEW
