About This Book
Reach for this collection when your child is navigating the social jitters of a new school year, a first sleepover, or the delicate dance of making new friends. Through the whimsical lens of life under the sea, Liz Kessler addresses very real childhood anxieties like feeling left out or doubting one's abilities. These four stories follow young mermaids Mia and Marnie as they attend school, celebrate birthdays, and explore their coral reef home. The book provides a safe, magical space to discuss friendship dynamics and self-confidence. It is perfectly pitched for early readers aged 5 to 8, offering a gentle bridge between picture books and longer chapter books while modeling kindness and resilience in social situations.
