Illustrated by
Fiona Lumbers.
A delightful ode to the power of books and libraries as well as a reassuring portrayal of separated parents. With telling, loosely rendered illustrations and poetic text, this charming picture book culminates with another book nestled inside: this story, about a separated Troll King and Mermaid Queen and their love for their daughter, especially resonates with the (biracial) girl in the book, listening on Dad's lap.
