The Five Enchanted Mermaids are five racially diverse mermaids who live undersea in a mythical world called “Atargatis.” Each mermaid represents a different part of the globe and has a superpower that inspires a child with their social development. The Five Enchanted Mermaids’ names are: Zari, Sofia, Jenny, Emily, and Anna. The superpowers that they bring motivation to model these virtues are Zari (independence), Sofia (honesty), Emily (courage), Jenny (confidence) and Anna (kindness).
I read the book “Meet the Mermaids: Hi, I’m Anna.” One day Anna visited Miss Molly’s School to talk to the
students about the “Kindness Kids Club” and how they can participate in this amazing venture to be kind. Anna
explains the three main types of kindness: “to our planet, to their people
and to ourselves.” The students became Kindness Kids and went out to look
for “kindness in action”. Great lesson, Anna!
This is an important topic to discuss with children inside classrooms or at home.
At the end of the book, you found a lesson plan (included via a link or QR Code)
as an extra support for teachers. Great job, Lois!
Lois Petren, author of the Lulu and Lainey and Five Enchanted Mermaids series of children's picture books, said that she became an author by chance when she realized she had a story to tell. In 2018 in collaboration with LifeMadeSimple, LLC, Lois started writing books about the Five Enchanted Mermaids, to develop a growth mindset and learn developmental skills in children.
I totally recommend this book written in English and I can't wait to see it translated into another languages.
I’m reviewing this
book as part of Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2023 (1/26/23) in its 10th Year
Anniversary. This non-profit children’s literacy initiative was founded by Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen; two diverse book-loving moms who saw a
need to shine the spotlight on all of the multicultural books and authors on
the market while also working to get those books into the hands of young
readers and educators.
