Kirkus
Most charming is the honesty of the females’ shapes, both as girls and as adults, as the two women reunite with their arms outstretched, full with their own little ones and love for one another. Full of little- (and big-) girl wonder and whimsy, this is a must for the mermaid-obsessed.
ALA/Booklist
The story’s setting is very pleasing, with plenty of white space surrounding the wide-spaced lines of text and the beautifully composed, subtly shaded watercolor illustrations. A gentle, captivating picture book for “aboveground” kids who dream of mermaids.
