A Christmas Coral Children's Book

Mermaid Nina notices the coral on the ocean floor is turning white and sets out to find out why. She finds her answer with an unexpected collaborator: Santa Claus. Between the two of them they have a decent shot at fixing it.

Part of the Mermaid of Hilton Head series, and the one to give in December.

What kids learn

That coral turning white is a warning sign rather than a colour change, and that the health of a reef is connected to the health of everything around it.
