What do you do when your little brother turns into a merman? If you're Alex, you just love him more.

Meet Alex, the narrator of our story, and his brother, Adam, who is different in a way that makes him more vulnerable, more sensitive, and entirely his own person. Adam finds his peace in water; when he's submerged, something magical happens; where his legs once were, a giant tail fin grows. He becomes a merman. It's a story that gives shape to what it feels like to experience the world differently, and to the sibling who loves and accepts that difference without question.
