When Mimbi the seal hears the legend of the moonbow, she wonders if the tale is true – can crossing the moon’s light really turn a sea creature into a human? When Mimbi and Kipo are caught in the moonbow, however, they all too soon learn it really is true. Luckily they find a kind fisherman who may know a way to return them to their sea creature selves.

Brown and Wimmer have crafted a magnificent new fairy tale for us to enjoy. WImmer’s whimsical illustrations are enchanting and Mimbi and Kipo’s story are as good as other classics such as The Little Mermaid, which it will remind you of.
