The star of Julián Is a Mermaid makes a joyful return—and finds a new friend—at a wedding to be remembered.

Julián and his abuela are going to a wedding. Better yet, Julián is in the wedding. Weddings have flowers and kissing and dancing and cake. And this wedding also has a new friend named Marisol. It’s not long before Julián and Marisol set off for some magic and mischief of their own, and when things take an unexpected turn, the pair learns that everything is easier with a good friend by your side. Jessica Love returns with a joyful story of friendship and individuality in this radiant follow-up to Julián Is a Mermaid.

“A powerful affirmation of individuality, creative expression, and unconditional acceptance.” —Shelf Awareness (starred review)

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 fish tails, 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 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? Mesmerizing and full of heart, this 2019 Stonewall Book Award winner is a jubilant picture of self-love and a radiant celebration of individuality.

L’école de Katy célèbre la Journée des grands-parents, et Katy a le trac. Elle ne veut pas présenter ses papys devant la classe parce qu’elle craint que personne ne comprenne son zozotement. Pour aggraver les choses, lorsque Katy dit à son professeur qu’elle invite ses “papys” mariés, son enseignante pense qu’elle veut dire “mamie et papy” au lieu de “papy et papy”. Katy aura-t-elle la confiance nécessaire pour parler devant la classe et défier les stéréotypes ?

Katy a Deux Papys s’inspire d’une histoire vraie à propos de l’amour et du soutien au sein d’une famille moderne, avec des illustrations dynamiques et colorées, une classe variée et une petite-fille TRÈS fière.
