✨ A bilingual bedtime story that celebrates Cebuano roots, family love, and the magic of the sea.
Mini Mermaid: A Cebuano Bedtime Tale of Sea and Shore follows Luna — the youngest mermaid on the shore — as she discovers gentle friends under the sea and the love of family. Along the way, she meets wise sea creatures like the pawikan (sea turtle), playful sardines in Moalboal, and the gentle butanding (whale shark).

Teachers and caregivers introducing world languages and culture.
Filipino and part-Filipino families raising children abroad.

A meaningful gift and keepsake for little mermaids and mermen everywhere.
💜 With glossary pages, cultural notes, and heartfelt acknowledgements, this book is both a bedtime favourite and a love letter to Cebu and the Philippines.
