Marvin's Little Mermaid
Gauzy illustrations complement the fairy-tale feel of this picture book about the magical power of friendship. After moving to a new town, Marvin is lonely. When he receives a fortune from a carnival game that his wish will come true, he wishes for a friend, but winning a mermaid in a bag is not how he expected it to come true. Still, he bonds with Stella, putting her needs above his own in a selfless act that reaps rich rewards.
