"Riding home on the subway with his grandma, Julián sees 3 women dressed spectacularly. When he gets home, he wants to come up with his own spectacular mermaid costume. Dreamy illustrations and story, this book is about radical family love, and a creative exploration of self." - Sarah
"It's so nice." - Ben
"This book tells a story beyond words. Charming and beautiful illustrations that allow the reader to create a story of their own making. One of my favorite picture books to reccomend!" - Clare
"The phrase, 'A picture is worth a thousand words,' is never more true than when reading these two gems. Through sparse language and gorgeous illustrations, Klassen is able to depict irony, humor, and suspense. I have seen children and adults laughing out loud as they paged through these books." - Teresa
"This book describes the feeling of being a city kid. It gives advice and says out loud things that city kids just know, like alleys can be good shortcuts, but are sometimes too dark. It's a lovely depiction of a city as a home. A must read for any city kid." -Sarah
"Finally-- a book for when you're so full of love that you need to HUG EVEYTHING!!!" - Clare
"Barnyard animals unionize for better labor conditions. Labor organizing 101." - Sarah
