(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jackie Morris. A lonely old woman finds a merbaby in a giant crab shell and with the help of the merchild's mother, a Sea Spirit, she raises her until she is strong enough to return to the sea. Sweeping watercolor illustrations in blues, greens, and reds, as well as spot illustrations of the sea's treasures, capture the magic in this well-told tale of love and letting go.
