Caldecott Honor author-illustrator Molly Idle dazzles with an original mermaid tale about how small, persistent actions can achieve great things. Sometimes the tiniest light can shine the brightest! Like the other mermaids of the deep, Pearl longs to care for the endless beaches, coral reefs, and towering kelp forests of her vast ocean world. So when her mother asks her to tend to a mere grain of sand, Pearl is heartbroken. It takes all her patience and determination to discover how even the littlest mermaid can transform the world. Caldecott Honor-winning author and artist Molly Idle has masterfully crafted a modern classic in this mesmerizing tale about the immense power of small actions.

#LiteraryLuck Day 22: This #Magical story features a mermaid who is longing to be responsible for something important like her sisters. When she was handed a single grain of sand to take care of by her mother, she was devastated. There are grains of sand beyond counting: how could taking care of a single one make any difference, if at all? A beautiful, #magical story. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-jMa

Three and a half stars, mostly for the magical art. The story feels like it wants to be a fairy tale, but doesn‘t quite know how to.
