About This Book:
A blackout poetry version of the classic fairy tale “The Little Mermaid,” offering a new, spare, and lovely tale of empowerment, body acceptance, and knowing where you belong
You know the story of the Little Mermaid—the girl who traded her tail for legs, her beloved sea for sand, to land the prince. Or do you? In this refreshingly subversive blackout poetry version of the classic fairy tale, a new and empowering message emerges from the depths: our girl pines for land and that prince, but this daughter of water discovers she loves the sea and her body—mermaid tail and all—more.
*Review Contributed by Bethany Wicker, Staff Reviewer*
The concept of blacking out words to highlight a select few from the original story is so fascinating and it’s refreshing to see something so unique. Not only do we get a fresh poem of a mermaid who loves the ocean, readers can also flip the book over for the original THE LITTLE MERMAID. Here, they can enjoy the classic tale or make a blackout story of their own. The poem reads beautifully to go with the enchanting illustrations.
Final Verdict: I would recommend this to fans of mermaids and poetry. It’s also a good way to spark a child’s creative side and get their minds thinking out of the box.
