Julian and Nana love to go swimming, and on their way home they notice three beautiful mermaids. Julian LOVES mermaids we are told, and as soon as they get home, he decides to make himself up to look just like one. But what will Nana think of Julian’s new look?
This poignant and beautifully illustrated picturebook uses minimal text and lyrical sequential illustrations to tell a captivating and empowering story. The message is clear – be true to yourself, and there will always be a tribe out there for you to find. The potential for intergenerational tension is hinted at beautifully, and then resoundingly defused, pitching the story’s arc as one of curiosity, creativity, doubt, fear and then redemption through the power of love and acceptance.
