Lily, the Pond Mermaid, is a story about friendship, community and dealing with childhood worries and anxieties.
Ponds are lush green places, full of busy life. And some ponds, if you look hard enough, even have a secret: pond mermaids. Just like Lily. In her beloved pond home, is her whole world – all her dragonfly, damselfly, butterfly, snail, frog and fish friends. But ponds are vulnerable places and Lily worries about keeping everyone safe … and her worry grows and grows. When a storm hits the pond and everything becomes covered in a tangle of storm debris, Lily becomes overwhelmed. But then she finds, bubbling up inside, a little flicker of courage to reach out, talk about her worries and ... ask for help.
“Lily the Pond Mermaid is a story that celebrates the wonders of nature and the importance of seeking support and assistance when needed. ” — Preneur World
