The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

From the creator of ‘Ella’s Night Lights’ comes a new tiny heroine – Lily, the pond mermaid, in a story about friendship, community and dealing with childhood worries and anxieties. Ponds are lush green places, full of busy life. And some ponds, if you look hard enough, even have a secret: pond mermaids. Just like Lily. In her beloved pond home, is her whole world – all her dragonfly, damselfly, butterfly, snail, frog and fish friends. But ponds are vulnerable places and Lily worries about keeping everyone safe – and her worry grows and grows. When a storm hits the pond and everything becomes covered in a tangle of storm debris, Lily becomes overwhelmed. But then she finds, bubbling up inside, a little flicker of courage to reach out, talk about her worries and – ask for help.
