Dear Little Mermaid is the second book in the Princess Pen-Pal Series. It follows The Little Mermaid and Belle (Beauty and The Beast) as they become best friends and share their stories through a series of magical and funny letters to one another.As in the first book, (Dear Cinderella), Dear Little Mermaid explores the lost art of letter writing and teaches children to take pen, pencil, or crayon to paper as a way to express themselves and stay in touch with someone special. In a society so focused on texting and social media, the Princess Pen-Pal Series offers a timeless and thoughtful way to communicate. Writing partners, Chad Gilkison & Scott Parrish, have chosen to collaborate with their 5 year old twins, Lukas & Olivia Gilkison-Parrish, on the artwork for Dear Little Mermaid. Since this book inspires children to write and create, what better way to teach their own children these basics and give them an opportunity to be involved in something creative. Because of their love of reading (especially fairy tales and princess stories), Lukas & Olivia, can’t wait to share their illustrations with their class at school. They are also very excited to begin Kindergarten next year. Chad Gilkison is the author of Little Chad: Memoirs of an Imaginary Child Star and has co-written the award winning screenplays, Kate & Co., The Decoration of Houses, and A Man's World… with Scott Parrish. Their first children's picture book, Dear Cinderella, (Scholastic) is also available now.
