This is a tale about an unlikely friendship between a human girl named Molly and a mermaid girl named Merrin. Once a year, there is a special night known as the Mermaid Moon Festival where all the sea creatures can swim through the air and explore the human world. Merrin will finally be able to see Molly's house on land and the harbor town she lives in. But there is one word of caution from her mother. She must return back home before the moon's reflection disappears from the sea.
I wish this beautiful story was around when my daughter was at the age of her mermaid enchantment. She absolutely loved the idea of magical mermaids and this is the perfect book for any young girl who is captured by the same feelings. It makes a great bedtime read as the illustrations are peaceful and in calming hues of greens and blues. Molly's seaside hometown has such a charm and the girls expression of wonderment as they move around the village exploring was so sweet. They end up having a bit of excitement towards the end that needs problem solving in order for Merrin to return to the sea in time. But with true friendship on your side, things will always work out. This is a wonderful fantasy picture book about friendships, magic and mermaids that will be a nice addition to any mermaid lovers bookshelf. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-6.~
