The world is made up of people who are all unique and different from the rest. We all need to embrace and respect the beauty of those differences rather than fear them.The conversation turned to mermaids as we watched the polar bears play at the San Diego Zoo. Spontaneously, I heard myself say, “have you ever seen a more unlikely pair, as a mermaid and a polar bear?” We laughed and I commented, “I could write a book about that!” So, I did. Just for you.A seal appears on every page for two reasons. It is always fun to search the page for something familiar, even if you have found it before. And, as a child, my beautiful daughter’s favorite toy was Snowy Seal.
