A brave mermaid's tale from popular Ocean Tales Children’s Books series\nLola, The Bracelet of Courage is a heart-warming picture book written in lyrical rhyme that will be cherished by children, mermaid lovers, teachers and parents.\nLola has a magical bracelet that helps her to feel brave. One day she loses her bracelet, and a turning tide forces her to navigate a new path home through a slimy kelp forest and a dark cave. Will Lola find her courage without the help of her magical bracelet?\nLola the mermaid seemed very courageous. 
Some things that she did were just simply outrageous! 
She liked to tell stories of ghosts in the dark 
and to go on fast rides at the fun water park. 
But being this brave was not always the case. 
She used to be timid and felt out of place.\nReviews\n“I love, love, LOVE this book! This should be on every child’s bookshelf. For even though it’s a story about a mermaid, it’s really so much more. The stunning illustrations complement the story perfectly as we are taken on Lola’s adventure with her to find her courage. The message is one we all need—at any age. I highly recommend this book and now I need to read the others by these talented authors and illustrator.” 
Read M. Books\n“I love rhyming books! As a teacher, I know they keep the students’ attention and are just fun to read. I also love when there is a lesson and something I can connect back to the students even after we are done with the story. Lola: Bracelet of Courage does just that, especially for a few students who are timid and hesitant to try new things.”

TESTIMONIALS:\n“Altogether, this book is a fun and educational book introducing children to the wonderful world of the ocean. It also teaches some facts about sea creatures. And it provides a wonderful example of social learning by teaching children they can rely on themselves to solve some problems. I highly recommend this book for ages 3-6, especially as an introduction to an ocean unit. The authors say that Nellie The Narwhal is the first in a series and I look forward to future books from these two talented authors.”\nEve Panzer, Barefoot Librarian\n“Teachers will love how this underwater adventure will encourage reading and introduce children to the many animals that live deep in the ocean. I think every home, school, and public library should have this book on the shelf to help make reading fun and to enable children to go on an underwater adventure without leaving home.”\nBarbara Fanson for Readers' Favourite\n“The questions get young readers thinking and interacting with the story and characters. The message shows that even though we may not look the same on the outside, we all have much in common. As this is Nellie's first appearance in the literary world, I can certainly say that I am looking forward to seeing more of her in the future.”\nShannon Winings for Readers’ Favourite\n“The enjoyable book includes “Nellie’s Ocean Trivia,” offering five multiple-choice questions relevant to the story, such as “What kind of animal is a turtle?” 
A lively and approachable animal tale about creative solutions and friendship.”\nKirkus Reviews
