A Mermaid Dream
What if tonight’s dreams carried you beneath the sea in A Mermaid Dream?
A Mermaid Dream invites young readers on a gentle underwater adventure where imagination becomes the tide that guides the journey. Written by Julie L. Kusma and Derek R. King, this beautifully illustrated picture book transforms bedtime into a voyage through an enchanted ocean filled with magical creatures, glowing fish, and hidden wonders.

As sleep arrives, two mermaids swim through the deep blue sea on a whale’s back. They pass by pink shrimp clouds and follow shiny fish that sparkle like stars under the waves. Along the way, they meet a soft squid, a fluffy octopus, and the quiet mystery of the ocean depths.

Every page is designed to inspire imagination while creating a calm and soothing bedtime experience. The lyrical text flows like a lullaby. The dreamlike illustrations invite readers to linger on each spread and discover something new with every reading.

Created in a soft vintage watercolor style, A Mermaid Dream celebrates creativity, wonder, and the limitless worlds children discover when they close their eyes and let their imaginations swim free.
