The Story Behind the Book
After settling into life by the sea, Stevie and her family began discovering a whole new kind of adventure—this time on the water. At first, Millie wasn’t so sure about heading out on their own boat. The engine was loud, and the ocean seemed big. But her love of the sea was stronger than her fear.
With courage and curiosity, Millie learned to embrace the noise and the unknown, and soon their trips became filled with magic—spotting turtles, dolphins, whales and exploring islands.
Inspired by Millie’s brave heart and sense of wonder, Stevie began turning these ocean adventures into a new story. What started as another keepsake for her daughter has become How to Find a Mermaid—a celebration of imagination, courage, and the beauty of exploring together.
