I love that it’s a deep children’s book about life truths!!
The parts about the starfish and pearls made me tear up because its just so magical and beautiful!! The illustrations are incredible, so creative and really bring the whole story to life. Watercolor is my favorite and so perfect for the story. I couldn’t pick a favorite page, but the moon dust page and the back cover/last page are standouts to me! I love how she made the mermaid look just like you!!
I am not sure which character you were in the story, but I think you might have been the ocean. I’m so sorry you had to go through that, but so glad God blessed you with where you are now.
I most of all, loved what you said at the beginning, “Always move forward with kindness. Remember the love that once was there.” Such wise and Godly words!!!
