Bøger af Jessica Love

På vej hjem i toget møder Julian og bedstemor tre fabelagtigt flotte kvinder, klædt ud som havfruer. Deres hår changerer i smukke nuancer og tøjet glimter af perler og pailletter – og kjolerne munder ud i elegante fiskehaler. Julian kan slet ikke holde op med at tænke på dem, og da han kommer hjem, piller hans bedstemors gardin ned og draperer den som en fiskehale om sig. Men synes bedstemor mon, dét er sjovt? En strålende kulørt og kærlig bog om accept. The New York Times skrev: “Dette er Jessica Loves debut-billedbog, og hvert og ét af de valg, hun træffer – den sparsomme tekst; den på én gang dæmpede og livlige farvepalet; fuldfarve opslagene der får både togkupeer og dagligstuer til at virke så store som oceaner – tilfører historien charme, følsomhed og humor … Sammen med Julian lærer læseren, at alle kan være en havfrue: Det eneste, det kræver, er kærlighed og accept, en lille smule fantasi og en stor, brusende hale."

"We're going camping, you and me.?"Where?? I ask."The desert,? says Dad. "To shake hands with the universe.?Going to bed each night can be dark and scary. The night sky stretches out endlessly, making one sensitive child feel small in comparison. So Dad comes up with a plan: a night of camping out in the desert. Together, the two load up Darlin', the old pickup truck, and drive over the mountain with the radio on, stopping to shoot the breeze at a junkyard before setting up camp, jumping in sand dunes, and lying back to name all the birds they can see. After sunset, when the young thinker feels tiny against the vast sky, Dad knows just what to ask - and just what to say - to soothe away fears. Maybe this night spent under the stars (and a surprise from Mum and the baby later) are just what is needed to show that the universe is a friendly place.

"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.
