Briony’s modern fairytale wherein friendship is key, will appeal specially to thoughtful readers and listeners who enjoy a touch of magic, which is something that her illustrations in particular are imbued with. * Red Reading Hub * This charming story of friendship will strum at the hearts of the readers… A wonderful read aloud, children will hang on to every word. * ReadPlus * Calming and dreamlike, the gentle lull of The Mermaid Moon is one for reading at bedtime, sending children off to sleep with visions of marvellous mermaids and watery-filled wonderlands. * A Word About Books *
