In Idle’s inspiring tale, a young mermaid longs to do one of the sea’s important jobs, like tending to the towering kelp forests, but her mother insists she must simply guard a tiny grain of sand. But, from a small actions, important things can result . . . (The title gives it away!). Idle’s lush colored-pencil illustrations display the shifting colors of this underwater story.
