by Shirley Ulbrich (Author)

When Misty the mermaid's tiara goes missing, she uncovers its whereabouts and teaches the culprit a valuable lesson in friendship, perfect for sparking conversations about trust.

When her adored tiara goes missing, Misty the mermaid is devastated. Who could have taken it? And why? When she discovers its whereabouts, the culprit learns a valuable lesson in friendship. Misty's best friend, Moriah, the loggerhead turtle, learns that one should not judge another by their looks and that friendships come in all shapes and sizes. Misty and her friends live off the coast of Florida. Their adventures are always uplifting and tender.

Book 1 of the "Misty the Mermaid" series of short stories, all holding a subtle message in each engaging adventure. It is the essential children's mermaid book with colorful, life-like scenes. Misty's stories are based on the real-life character actor Misty Joy, whose performances as a mermaid are legendary in Florida. Misty Joy enjoys performing all her acts, especially "Misty the Mermaid." Misty and Shirley collaborated on Misty's website, which displayed Misty in her various roles as a performance artist in and around Panama City, Florida. Shirley, a web designer/writer, suggested that Misty should consider having a children's book created for her character, Misty the Mermaid, the ultimate ocean adventure for kids, to read during her performances.

Discovering Misty, the Mermaid of the Emerald Coast: Book #2: Friends Forever: A heartfelt tale of Misty and her friend, a loggerhead turtle who, through disobedience, overcomes losing a limb from a fisherman's net, (a common life-threatening issue, according to authorities) ideal for exploring resilience and friendship.
