Lily the Pond Mermaid by Lucy Fleming. PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick Press, 2023. $19 9781536235562
BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Lily the mermaid loves her pond home. She loves helping the creatures that live in and around the pond. She especially loves taking care of their pond. But, Lily starts to worry that all her hard work won't be enough. When a big storm comes, Lily's worries seem to all come true. Will Lily find the strength to confide in her friends and help the pond?
This is a cute story with the added bonus of having an SEL message. It would be a solid addition to a library in that it would appeal to kids who love mermaids, but it's not a must-have in my opinion.
Lily appears to be white
