About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing social friction or feeling discouraged by peers who dismiss their ideas as silly or untrue. It is a perfect tool for children who value being right and need to learn how to prove their point with integrity rather than aggression. The story follows Cora, a spirited mermaid who is publicly mocked by a classmate for believing in narwhals. Rather than retreating, Cora and her friends set out on a quest to find the elusive creatures. This humorous, illustrated chapter book is ideal for ages 7 to 10. It models how to stand up to bullying, the power of a supportive friend group, and the importance of intellectual curiosity. Parents will appreciate the balance of silly humor with the serious emotional theme of maintaining self-confidence when your truth is questioned.
