Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() Full disclosure. I have had this book above my desk for quite some time now. And every time I think I have an idea of how I want to write my review.....I change my mind. I thought this book was going to win Caldecott. 100 percent. And largely because of the subject matter. It didn't which made me procrastinate reviewing it. The book is beautifully illustrated and conveys a story well. After all, it is mostly wordless so the illustrations HAVE to tell the story. My only issue is that I am not fully sure what story it seeks to convey. It's the story of Julian who dresses up as a mermaid. Is it because he just likes to dress up? Is it because he is transgender? Is he wanting to be a drag queen? Is the mermaid thing a euphemism for something? I feel really stupid that I am incredibly unsure but that's the truth. My worldview and my job collide with this book. Daily I encounter children that are similar to Julian. And people want to always find themselves in literature. (Trust me, I would love to find a white female protagonist who was a Christian, homeschooled, (little bit) feminist, virgin yet isn't portrayed as a bigot. If that exists, let me know!!) So again, I see why "Julian is a Mermaid" is a necessary book and why it should be in library collections. Then, though, there is my faith and I struggle with the whole topic of gender. I believe we were made by God one way. He doesn't make mistakes. So yeah. Make of this book what you will. Be prepared for discussions with kids. I'd be curious your thoughts. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Julian est avec Mamita, sa grand-mère. Leur métro s’arrête et des sirènes montent à bord. Julian adore les sirènes. «Moi aussi, je suis une sirène», dit-il. Une fois seul, il s’apprête, couronne sa tête de longues feuilles vertes qu’il orne de fleurs colorées, noue un long rideau crème à sa taille. Il est prêt. Mamita et lui partent main dans la main vers la parade. (site de l'éditeur) Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
