It’s the last day of the holidays.
Pearl walks along the beach and finds something extraordinary in the sand – a pair of mermaid shoes.
Pearl tries on the shoes, which in fact are scuba flippers.
They fit perfectly. She really is a mermaid.
Back home, Pearl wears her mermaid shoes everywhere.
The children at school laugh at her but she’s not discouraged.
She makes a fishy mermaid tail and sets off to find the sea.
After much searching, Pearl finds a different kind of home just right for a young mermaid – the city fountain. A tender and gently inspirational story.
This delightful picture book quietly captures the heart.
