Summary:
"Un día, tras salir de la piscina, mientras regresa a casa en tren con su abuela, Julián ve a tres mujeres vestidas con unos trajes espectaculares. Sus cabelleras flotan en el aire con brillantes colores, sus vestidos tienen colas de pescado y su regocijo inunda el vagón del tren. Cuando Julián llega a casa, hechizado por la magia que acaba de ver, solo piensa en vestirse como ellas con su propio fabuloso disfraz de sirena: se pone una cortina amarilla color mantequilla como cola y las frondas de una planta de helecho como tocado de la cabeza. ¿Pero qué pensará su abuela del desorden que ha hecho--y más importante aún--qué pensará de la imagen que tiene Julián de sí mismo? Cautivante y genuino, el libro de Jessica Love, galardonado con el premio Stonewall, es una jubilosa y radiante celebración del amor por uno mismo y de la individualidad."-- Provided by publisher.
"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?"-- Provided by publisher.
