Julian is a small boy on the subway with his Nana… but he is also a mermaid. After seeing three gorgeous women dressed up as mermaids on the journey, he tells Nana: “Nana, I am also a mermaid”. Julian dresses himself up as a mermaid while Nana is in the bath. He feels wonderful… but how will Nana react?
This is a stunningly illustrated picture book, with a joyous message at its heart. The colour and life in the pictures make you want to look and look, from the kids playing in the water from the hydrant to the older ladies swimming in the pool.
If you want a book with a superb grandparent in, this would also do the job! As with the best picture books, this is one for all humans, not only small children. Read Julian is a Mermaid and feel part of the kindness and delight that it celebrates.
