Reluctant to leave the sea behind at the end of summer vacation, Mia fashions herself into a mermaid (with flippers found on the beach and her mother's old skirt) and searches her city for a proper mermaid habitat. Saturated, sweeping watercolors bolster the sense of Mia's imagination and invite the reader into the world she creates. An engaging journey for aspiring mermaids.

When Little Fish jumps into Rosa's lap, a previously boring day becomes extraordinary. Rosa takes him home and hastily prepares delicious foods (cassava cake, tortillas) for the hungry fish, which grows at an astronomical rate. The story line is slight, but the illustrations, in blues, greens, and yellows, capture the textures and flavors of a small seaside village.
