"A heartwarming and necessary story about building family connections across cultural divides." -- School Library Journal
On a vist to her cousin in Poland, young Natalia worries she's not "Polish enough" -- her aunt's fast Polish is tricky to understand, and she feels shy speaking it herself. But when she and her cousin bond over their love of fairy tales, they set off together on a magical adventure across Warsaw in search of Syrenka, the legendary Mermaid of Warsaw.
Celebrates cross-cultural connections and family heritage
Endnotes include Polish words, pronunciation guides, and fun facts on Polish history, fairy tales, and Warsaw landmarks
Perfect for young readers curious about different cultures and family traditions
Born in Poland and raised in the United States, Anna Staniszewski grew up loving stories in both Polish and English. She was a Writer-in-Residence at the Boston Public Library and a winner of the Susan P. Bloom Discovery Award. Currently, Anna lives south of Boston, Massachusetts with her family and teaches courses on writing and children’s literature. She is the author of over twenty books for young readers, including the novels Clique Here and The Wonder of Wildflowers; the picture books Dogosaurus Rex and Beast in Show; and the Once Upon a Fairy Tale chapter book series. annastan.com Ewa Poklewska-Koziełło was born in Gdańsk, but currently she lives in Sopot, Poland. She studied architecture at the Technical University of Gdansk, where she found she was much more attracted to the decorative details of her architectural plans than to the technical aspects of them. This realization led her to become an illustrator. Today, she has published several dozen books, coursebooks and children magazines, and has participated in many exhibitions of illustrations. She has been nominated for the IBBY prize several times. Her artwork combines traditional and digital techniques: she begins by hand painting using gouaches, acrylics and crayons on paper and then incorporates further details on the computer. ewapoklewskakoziello.com
