FOUND
A GRAPHIC NOVEL
A fantastical tale of friendship and family in the mythical Northern Seas!
A playful mermaid meets a lonely polar bear and together they set out to explore their watery world, navigating the sometimes perilous seas in pursuit of a stolen treasure and in search of a place to call home. Along the way, with a little magical help, they even find something they didn't realize they had lost!
FOUND is a graphic novel-style picture book. The full-color pages with minimal text and few panels make it easy to read with little ones, while the 102-page length gives the story time to develop a little more than your average picture book.
If you love mermaids, polar bears, or heartwarming tales with a little twist of magic, you’ll love FOUND!
