Julian seems unsure about what his grandmother will think and observes himself in the mirror while she is gone. He shows off his new look to his grandmother, who appears to be surprised and leaves. Every Saturday morning, he rides the subway with his grandmother to go swimming, but one day, on the way back, he is enchanted by the sight of three “mermaids”- women with “beautiful hair, shimmering gowns, and total confidence (Love, 2018).” After telling his grandmother that he is also a mermaid, Julián dresses up as one, using her potted ferns and flowers to create a headpiece, her drapes to create a “tail” and even uses her makeup to complete his look. Julián Is a Mermaid is a heartwarming story about a little boy, Julián, who loves mermaids so much that he wants to be one.
