描述
This highly praised and award winning book dives into the watery world of Julián, a young boy who dreams of being a mermaid. Alongside his grandmother, they visit a swimming pool and take a bus back home through the city. The illustrations, done with translucent tropical tones, whisk us away from the streets to a world under the sea. Julian’s childlike innocence and playful zest for imaginative dress up sometimes gets him in trouble. But it also paints a picture of a child encouraged to take pride in who he is by marching in a mermaid parade.
