Once upon a tide…

A real mermaid comes to your party with a story to tell.

Story time, lake songs, shell treasures and duck-pond games — brought to your backyard, park or party room by a mermaid from the deep.

Chapter one

The storyteller from the stream

Every mermaid has a story. Ours swam up a forest stream, found a village full of children who had never heard the songs of the lake, and decided to stay a while.

Now she travels to birthdays, library days and backyard celebrations with a basket of tales — the lighthouse that hummed, the octopus who lost her ink, the whale who counted stars — and every child leaves as an honorary member of the tide.
