Their hair billows in brilliant hues, their dresses end in fishtails, and their joy fills the train carriage.

Review A vibrant, witty celebration of tolerance. * BBC Culture *"celebratory and ground-breaking" * The Sunday Times Culture/The Sunday Times Ireland *"The stand-out title this month is a picture book, Julian Is a Mermaid by Jessica Love. […] In the bravura feat of understated storytelling, the richness of Julians free-floating imagination is caught in images layered with colour, movement, muscle and life, celebrating black and Latino experience. Julian invents a tail and flowing hair, and Nanas acceptance, as she accompanies him on a wild parade of mermaids, will leave the reader filler with joy." * The Guardian *This is Jessica Loves 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 Julián, 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 *Beautiful [...] Magnificent [...] Lovely [...] Magical [...] Gorgeous * RuPaul of RuPauls Drag Race * Details ISBN1406386421 Author Jessica Love Pages 40 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Year 2019 ISBN-10 1406386421 ISBN-13 9781406386424 Publication Date 2019-02-07 Illustrator Jessica Love Format Paperback Imprint Walker Books Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 813.6 Language English UK Release Date 2019-02-07 AU Release Date 2019-02-07 NZ Release Date 2019-02-07 Audience Age 3-9 Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
