Mermaids Need Dads Too

Silver loves to swim and dreams of one day becoming a mermaid. There's only one problem: Her dad can't swim!

From the bath to the pool and the beach, Silver's always been a water baby.

She looks like a mermaid, swims like a fish, and even sleeps under the sea.

Silver and her dad bake mermaid-tail cupcakes, build mermaid caves, and read underwater stories, but he can't join her in the pool like other dads. Silver would rather give up on her mer-mazing dreams than swim away without her dad. But what if she doesn't have to?

This joyful story celebrates swimming and empowers little dreamers to pursue their passions.
