A great story about a mermaid unicorn that is learning how to use magic. However that is only possible when she learns to focus on her positive thoughts/feelings, verses those that are negative.
A great story to help teach good verse bad emotions and what comes from them.

The book was amazing how sirrena and Lily were both really good friends when they met. The book showed how they were partners in class and worked together when there was a storm and got through it.😍🐱 —Charlee, age 10

A very cute story that deals with some not so nice emotions and the stress of starting a new school.

We enjoyed the story and the characters. It was a simple and uncomplicated story that was easy for us to follow.

The first chapter book I read to Piper! She loved the story and is excited to listen to more short chapter books. If you're looking for a chapter book as a read-aloud for a five year old, this is a good choice.
