This is a great book! There's very little dialogue but it shows a loving relationship about a boy who just wants to be a mermaid and his grandmother that helps him. Fantastic illustrations, too!

I read this for the first tie a couple of years ago but also did it in my storytime earlier this month so I thought to see if I had it here. gender stereotypes are challenged and the story of an Abuela's love and acceptance of her creative child is wonderful
