Great tool for
teachers and good read for children
Mermaids on a Mission, as
the title implies, is a book about seven mermaids who protect the ocean from
mankind’s pollution. Each of the mermaids have a special power that allows them
to save the valuable oceans and special creatures and plant life. The
conversation between the mermaids describes the culture and characteristics of
each of them. I love Fina from South America and her mission to protect injured
animals in Aqua Pura.
Teachers have an excellent tool to teach children how important the oceans are by following the example and action the mermaids did to keep the waters clean from pollutants.
The illustrators, Alyssa Figueroa and Alexander C. Appello, created brilliant illustrations that make the story enjoyable to read to young children.
The author Balletta includes a helpful Teacher's Guide which introduces vocabulary, discussion questions on a deep and well research topic. Congratulations Mrs. Balletta!
Mermaids on a Mission to Save the Oceans is most highly recommended.

Multicultural Children’s Book Day (1/25/19) is in its 6th year and was founded by Valarie Budayr from Jump Into A Book and Mia Wenjen from PragmaticMom. Our mission is to raise awareness of the ongoing need to include kids’ books that celebrate diversity in home and school bookshelves while also working diligently to get more of these types of books into the hands of young readers, parents and educators.
