Nina's Necklace Children's Book

Mermaid Nina's shark friends have a problem that has nothing to do with predators: people are afraid of them, and that fear is what puts them in danger. With some mermaid magic and her octopus friend Icarus, she comes up with a plan.

Part of the Mermaid of Hilton Head series.

What kids learn
