Their hair billows in brilliant hues, their dresses end in fishtails, and their joy fills the train car. When Julian gets home, daydreaming of the magic hes seen, all he can think about is dressing up just like the ladies in his own fabulous mermaid costume: a butteryellow 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 Julian sees himself? Mesmerizing and full of heart, Jessica Loves authorillustrator debut is a jubilant picture of selflove and a radiant celebration of individuality.
