Julián es una sirena

Regular price $18.99
Sale price $18.99

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.

English Description:

One day, after getting out of the pool, while returning home by train with his grandmother, Julián sees three women dressed in spectacular costumes. Their hair floats in the air with bright colors, their dresses have fish tails and their joy floods the train car. When Julian arrives home, spellbound by the magic he has just seen, all he thinks about is dressing like them in his own fabulous mermaid costume: he puts on a butter-colored yellow curtain for his tail and the fronds of a fern plant for his headpiece. But what will his grandmother think of the mess he's made—and more importantly—what will she think of Julian's image of himself? Captivating and genuine, Jessica Love's Stonewall Prize-winning book is a joyous and radiant celebration of self-love and individuality.
