Testimonials

My 2 and a half year old granddaughter has the book The ocean is calling Mermom and ME….Loves it! She knows her sea creatures too. what lives in salt water and fresh water. Says she wants to go scuba diving. She knows clownfish, blue tang, pufferfish, lionfish, starfish, jellyfish, seahorse, stingray, and really loves sea turtles. Thanks for the adventure.

My 4-year-old can’t get enough of The Ocean is Calling, Mermom and Me. We read it every single night. She’s now obsessed with the ocean and keeps asking when we can go see a real mermaid. It’s the sweetest thing.

My son is five and absolutely loves. The Whale Shark is Calling, Mermom and Me. He now looks for whale sharks every time we go out on our boat. It’s become his absolute favorite bedtime book.

These books are pure magic. My daughter, three, carries The Ocean is Calling everywhere, even to the beach. She pretends to be the mermaid and “talks” to the ocean. It’s sparked such fun, imagination and love for all sea animals in her.

We bought both books for our granddaughter’s birthday. She’s four and now wants to be a mermaid! Thanks:) The stories are colorful and inspiring for my granddaughter. Can’t wait for more books.

About Lisa

Hi! I’m Lisa ( AKA- Mermom ), a children’s book author, ocean-loving, Mermom and passionate about helping kids discover the beauty of God’s undersea world.

I’ve spent the last 45 years exploring the ocean as a SCUBA diver. When I homeschooled my own kids, teaching them to SCUBA dive opened up a whole new way of learning,exploring and most of all, to value and appreciate the importance of the ocean for them—and for me.

Those underwater adventures we shared really ignited a passion for storytelling, which eventually inspired children’s books. These books are designed to spark curiosity and courage in future generations, encouraging them to learn and explore the incredible life that thrives beneath the ocean.

That’s how these books were born—written from the heart, with a grandmother’s hope that every child who reads them feels the magic of life in the ocean, even if they’re nowhere near it.

Ocean and Reef conservation

Hey there, Mermaid friends! Let me explain to you why ocean and reef conservation is so important in a way that I hope is easy and fun for you.

You know, the ocean is like a big, beautiful home for many amazing creatures. It’s like an underwater city where fish, turtles, dolphins, and even colorful corals live. But just like we take care of our own homes, we need to take care of the ocean too.

Conserving the ocean and its reefs means protecting and preserving these homes for all the creatures that live there. It’s like being a superhero for the ocean! When we take care of the ocean, we make sure that all the animals have clean water to swim in and a safe place to live.

But that’s not all! The ocean and its reefs also help us in many ways. They give us oxygen to breathe, just like trees on land. They also provide us with delicious seafood to eat and beautiful places to explore, like colorful coral reefs. We can even find important medicines in the ocean that help us stay healthy.

Unfortunately, the ocean and its reefs are facing some problems. Pollution, climate change, and overfishing are harming them. That’s why it’s so important for us to do our part in conserving them. We can help by picking up trash on the beach, using less plastic, and being kind to the creatures that live in the ocean.

By taking care of the ocean and its reefs, we can make sure that future generations, like you and your friends, can continue to enjoy the wonders of the sea. So let’s be superheroes for the ocean and protect it for all the creatures and for ourselves too!
