Description



About the Book



Written by American Paralympic champion swimmer Jessica Long, The Mermaid with No Tail celebrates the importance of dreaming big and the power of being different.



Book Synopsis



Dive into this illustrated picture book, where a mermaid with no tail decides she wants to compete in the Mermaid Games. The other mermaids make fun of her for being different. But her adoptive turtle parents are supportive and encouraging, and her shark coach Phelpsy teaches her to swim using her arms. The mermaid trains hard, maintains a good attitude, and eventually wins the games.

Inspired by the life of Paralympic champion swimmer Jessica Long, The Mermaid with No Tail celebrates the importance of dreaming big and the power of being different.

We love this book!

This book was absolutely enchanting. My girls absolutely loved it. Not only is the story beautiful and empowering, but the artwork matches so well. It was an amazing book to talk about adaptive sports but also perfect for absolutely anyone.
