Delighted to share that The Good Little Mermaid’s Guide to Bedtime is the March featured Big Picture title at The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books. It’s a fantastic starred review– my first ever– and I’m so proud and grateful for this book to be seen in this way that I had hoped. Thank you to The Bulletin!
One of my favorite quotes from this article. I will forever be referencing TGLMGTB as THIS AQUATIC AGENT OF CHAOS! <3
This aquatic agent of chaos is a contrarian delight, the oceanic proxy of the kid who not only refuses compliance but does so with vicious glee. Her resistance is not simply a dislike of bedtime, however, but a clear and defiant pushback against gendered norms and standards of beauty that are insidiously embedded in the landscape of children’s lit and media.
