The Girl and the Mermaid

Alina lives in a lighthouse by the sea: a home filled with the warmth of Granny's magical stories. But Alina is worried. Granny's memories and stories are starting to fade away, and she doesn't know how to bring them back. Then, one day, Alina meets a mermaid on the rocks near the lighthouse — and she's swept into a magical adventure deep under the sea. Can the mermaid help her find the stories, and can Alina help to keep the memories shining brightly?

The mermaid city glows with light, and has an endless well of stories. Alina can't go there without a mermaid to guide her, though, so even if she takes some stories now — both Granny's old stories and new ones of her own — she has to figure out how to keep them. It turns out that the best way to keep a story alive is to share it, and Alina finds her own ways to let the stories glow.

From bestselling creators of The Girl and the Dinosaur comes a new picture book about the value of imagination and storytelling, and the love between a girl and her grandmother. This heartwarming tale takes readers on a deep and fanciful journey to explore the importance of family, memory, imagination, and storytelling.

Description

"Alina bravely follows [the mermaid] through seaweed forests and past sunken ships until they reach 'a city filled with endless light,' where the merfolk keep stories in an ever-flowing well. The mermaid gives Alina some of Granny’s stories, and Alina realizes that the best way to preserve stories is to share them. She pours the stories into the lighthouse lamp, projecting them across the night sky. Granny and Alina are content, knowing that the stories will live on.... A poignant testament to the power of story." — Kirkus Reviews
