We’re Off To Meet a Mermaid by Eloise White
We’re Off to Meet a Mermaid is about a family in search for the splishy splashy mermaid. As their quest takes them deeper and deeper into the ocean, they discover many endangered underwater creatures along the way, that all have a magic of their own.
This playful story will be a favourite with children and grown-ups, with a simple storyline and repetitive patterns which encourage little ones to have fun joining in with the narrative. This book naturally and seamlessly incorporates diversity within the family, including people of different ethnicities and abilities. Beautifully illustrated by Cory Reid, can you find the elusive mermaid hidden within the pages?
The “We’re Off to” collection of adventure stories aim to help grow awareness of endangered wildlife, while also spreading the message of the importance of diversity in more playful and imaginative stories.

Owlet Press was founded by Samuel Langley-Swain in 2018, working with authors and illustrators with a shared passion – picture books which reflect the true diversity in children’s lives. Focusing on the challenges children face today and packaging these big issues into inclusive and accessible stories for small readers to digest and discuss with friends, families and schools. This indie children’s book publisher aims to change the world one book at a time, along with the best authors and illustrators to tell these stories.
Owlet Press have always published books that are ‘incidentally inclusive’ from day one and look to push this further with every title. With authors and illustrators from all walks of life – diversity is the driving ethos within this publisher. Owlet believe that it is key for young readers of colour to see children like them (and for white, non-disabled children to see children that don’t always look like them) in books experiencing the joy and magic of playful, imaginative stories – a belief that we share at Babipur.
