Author Description

Legend has it that when a mermaid cries, her tears roll down her cheeks and splash into the ocean, where they tumble about and wash up on shores around the world, transformed into beautifully colored sea glass, also known as mermaid tears. On a rocky coast, there is one special, tucked-away beach where the loveliest tears in the world can be found. This is because the saddest mermaid lives in the harbor and weeps each night for her lost love. It's on this beach that a little girl and her grandma spend time together hunting for the prettiest and rarest tears and making precious memories. What treasures will the mermaid leave for them to discover? Children and adults alike will delight in following the duo's hunting adventures. Stunning watercolors bring the beauty of the beach and the lovelorn mermaid to life.
