Julian at The Wedding

This follow up to Julian is A Mermaid was a gorgeous celebration of love, friendship and acceptance.  Julian and his friend Marisol are in a wedding.  But when Marisol gets a bit dirty, Julian saves the day by sharing a shirt with her.  These characters are beautiful - inside and out.  Marisol's grandmother, like Julian's, is patient and loving, even though she was nervous she "ruined" her dress.  The illustrations are breathtaking.  It is important for readers to see all types of love, all colors of people, and all manners of identity.
