Julian is a mermaid / Jessica Love
Livre
Edité par Candlewick. Somerville , 2018
Splendides, aquarellées et fluides : Julian adore les sirènes qui traversent les pages du livre de sa vie. Il adore celles qu'il croise avec Mamita sa grand mère partout dans la ville. Il aime déjà celle qui prolonge le désir qu'il a d'en devenir une... A force d'accessoires et d'accompagnement, l'élan profond et singulier de ce très jeune garçon trouvera-t-il à se vivre ?
While riding the subway home from the pool with his abuela one day, Julián notices three women spectacularly dressed up. Their hair billows in brilliant hues, their dresses end in fishtails, and their joy fills the train car. When Julián gets home, daydreaming of the magic he’s seen, all he can think about is dressing up just like the ladies in his own fabulous mermaid costume: a butter-yellow curtain for his tail, the fronds of a potted fern for his headdress. But what will Abuela think about the mess he makes — and even more importantly, what will she think about how Julián sees himself? Mesmerizing and full of heart, Jessica Love’s author-illustrator debut is a jubilant picture of self-love and a radiant celebration of individuality.
