The Little Bayou Mermaid

By Dana Holyfield

The Little Bayou Mermaid is a children's picture book narrated in verse, centering around a mermaid named Aqualina who resides in a murky lagoon. She forges an unlikely friendship with a Cajun boy named Remy when he liberates her fin from a tangled fishnet. Eager to expand her horizons, she implores him to share his schoolbooks, yearning to learn about the world beyond her watery domain. Witnessing her eyes illuminate with newfound knowledge ignites Remy's aspiration to become a teacher. However, as summer wanes, he must depart for college, far from the enchanting bayou, yet he vows to return. When he fails to come back, the Little Bayou Mermaid employs the wisdom gleaned from her books to embark on a quest to find him. It is during this journey that she uncovers the heartbreaking truth: he has suffered an accident that has robbed him of his memories of her. In fleeting moments when she crosses his mind, he dismisses her as nothing more than a figment of his imagination.
