Special Event for Kids! Ages 4-8!

A magical story starring three Black mermaid sisters who each wish to wear the underwater crown! Perfect for fans of Little Mermaid and Oona.

Anaya, Shante, and Kianna are sisters.

And these mermaid princesses couldn’t be more different!

One day, when a problem too big for any of them to solve alone comes their way, they find out which one of them has what it takes to become legend of the sea.

This fun adventure, inspired by African mermaid myth, magic, and spirituality, reminds young readers about the importance of teamwork and the different strengths we can all bring to the table—or throne.

“…this story combines bright, jewel-toned colors and an upbeat narrative…. Cameron-Gordon makes clear that though mermaids of color—like all mermaids—might be a fantasy, they’re one we can all can share.” – Kirkus Reviews
