Book Review of The Mer-Child: A Legend for Children and Other Adults

reviewed on


This sweet story is antiracist, feminist, green, anti-ableist, and more! At times, this ideological pummelling, it is heavy-handed, but is also very sweet. I am not sure whether the children would be as interested as the adults would be however.

It is definitely worth trying out, especially as a corrective to a steady monopoly/diet of Disney and other patriarchal, kyriarchal stories.

More stories instead of censorship or repression, I say.
