My Cousin's Mermaid by Anna Staniszewski
On a trip to visit her cousin in Poland, a child struggles with not feeling Polish enough until they bond over their love of fairy tales.
“A heartwarming and necessary story about building family connections across cultural divides. . A worthy purchase for any children’s collection, especially those serving immigrant populations.” - School Library Journal
“A reassuring and warm tale of family connections” – Kirkus Reviews

Ewa Poklewska-Koziełło was born in Gdańsk, but currently she lives in Sopot, Poland. She studied architecture at the Technical University of Gdansk, where she found she was much more attracted to the decorative details of her architectural plans than to the technical aspects of them. This realization led her to become an illustrator. Today, she has published several dozen books, coursebooks and children magazines, and has participated in many exhibitions of illustrations. She has been nominated for the IBBY prize several times. Her artwork combines traditional and digital techniques: she begins by hand painting using gouaches, acrylics and crayons on paper and then incorporates further details on the computer. ewapoklewskakoziello.com
