“Mermaid-mad children have a surprise coming: one of these mermaids fell for Hanuman. Save it for a full-moon night, when the lagoon on the page feels just outside the window.”
Something sings beneath the lagoon. Could it be a mermaid?
Mermaids in the Moonlight is a dreamy picture book about a moonlit lagoon trip and mermaid legends from around the world.
Nilavoli and Amma travel to Mattakalappu in Sri Lanka, where strange sounds rise from the lagoon. Under a full moon, they set out by boat to listen. As Nilavoli wonders what sings below, Amma shares mermaid tales from many lands, from royal Mélusine of Luxembourg to Suvarnamaccha, Ravana's daughter, who lost her heart to Hanuman.
Why children love it
- Nilavoli tells the story, even dipping an ear into the water to listen.
- Lovely small details, like the mermaid arch that welcomes them to Mattakalappu and bright-orange life vests.
- Swirling blue artwork with white line drawings of fish, shells and waves.
Written and illustrated by Sharanya Manivannan · English
Quick answers
Where is Mattakalappu? The Tamil name for Batticaloa, on Sri Lanka's east coast, where the author's family comes from.
Does it touch on sad things? Gently. Amma's family left during a war, and their boat guide remembers a tsunami, so it suits a calm, shared read.
