About This Book

This enchanting story tells of two outsiders who find a deep kinship in each other. The Mer-Childâ€"with his pale green skin, surf-white hair, and shimmering tailâ€"is not fully accepted in the sea world or the human world. The Little Girlâ€"the child of a black mother and a white fatherâ€"has been ostracized both because of her race and because her legs are paralyzed. The bond they weave, against all odds, becomes a wondrous celebration of our common capacity to love.
