Nusaybah – A Mermaid’s Tale

Nusaybah wishes she wasn’t so different from Laura, the most popular mermaid in school. Perhaps if they were more alike, Laura would like her.

Should Nusaybah change herself to gain Laura’s friendship?

Or can she be liked for who she really is?

To increase that precious cuddle time, we also included some activities at the end of the book, which can be completed independently or with care-giver.

This is a story about a mermaid, who is different in terms of faith, appearance and lifestyle. She struggles to ‘fit in’, and faces challenges due to this, and all she wants is to be accepted for who she is. This story will encourage dialogue around the concept of self-discovery, acceptance and being unique.

Can also be used as an educational tool to learn about the ocean and lots of different sea creatures, with colourful illustrations to admire and discuss.
