My Sister is a Mermaid

What if your sister was secretly a MERMAID?

Meet Coral.

She loves the water. She swims incredibly fast. She collects seashells. And she even seems to know how to talk to fish!

Sounds a little fishy, doesn't it?

Her brother, Billy, certainly thinks so.

He's beginning to suspect that his sister might actually be a mermaid!

And then there's the food. Coral likes eating something green that looks an awful lot like SEAWEED. Isn't that what mermaids eat?

The clues are adding up, but is Coral really a mermaid in disguise? Or does Billy just have a very big imagination?

In My Sister Is a Mermaid, children follow Billy as he tries to figure out whether his sister is an ordinary kid or something a little more magical.

With colorful illustrations, a playful sibling mystery, and plenty of humor, this entertaining picture book celebrates imagination, family relationships, and the wonderful way children see the people around them.
