A little girl dreams of adventures in the water and feels the spirit of the ocean all around her... even though she lives on the prairie, with flat land as far as the eye can see. But she won't let a little detail like that stand in the way of being a meadow mermaid! Frolicking in the 'waves' of wheat and 'oceans' of grass, spying sea horses and... a shipwrecked sailor? Even if that shipwreck is actually an overturned bike and the sailor a new kid from a neighbouring field, it's still a chance to make a new friend, one with an imagination as expansive and a love of the ocean as deep as the little girl's own. This fanciful, whimsical picture book will charm young mermaids and little pirates everywhere, and inspire them to embrace the spirit of the ocean in the things around them, no matter where they live!
