A story that captivates children immediately
Far out in the sea lives the little mermaid, who swims to the surface and discovers a new, mysterious world. The narrative offers families plenty to talk about: longing, courage, choices, and the question of what a wish may cost. For children, this creates an exciting learning experience with strong images and clear emotions.
