Mermaids
by Oksana Lushchevska
Age Range: Under_5
Sonia and Nika are best friends but they live far away from each other. Nika lives on the left bank of the Dnipro River while Sonia lives on the right. To see each other more often, the girls come up with a secret ingenious game that also helps them feel happy when they are sad.
Mermaids by Ukrainian writer and translator Oksana Lushchevska and illustrated by Violetta Borigard is another heart-warming story of friendship and imagination like Mr Catsky, Mira and the Sea, also by the duo. Borigard’s soft colour palette and expressive illustrations are in evidence again as they show the flights of imagination of the two girls and their longing to spend more time together.
Mermaids is one of a series of bilingual books from the new publisher Pineapple Lane. Each title is written, translated and illustrated by authors and artists whose lives have been disrupted by conflict. All the books are free to refugee families and the communities they are living with and are distributed through schools, libraries and grassroots organisations.
