What will you find under the sea?
Swim with the whales and dolphins, or follow a turtle through the jet stream? Discover the coral reef!
Come be a mermaid and see where all the little fishes live!
I Want To Be A Mermaid is a great rhyming reader to share with your child, exploring in their imagination what it would be like to be able to live in the waterways of the world and get to see the lives of marine creatures. It also shares the vision of clean oceans and streams with no pollution and humans becoming better stewards of the earth's natural resources, especially, the oceans.

Ms. Vaughn got her start in creative writing as an elementary school student in third grade and continued on through the encouragement of mostly her English and drama teachers throughout grade school and secondary school. She entered many poetry / writing contests throughout her school years and consistently won regional & national honor awards for her work.
She went on to write & direct short plays in high school, and had her works including her own invitation-only poetry recital performed by her 12th grade drama class for schoolwide presentations. She sold freelance work to Hallmark at 16 years old and was offered an opportunity to pursue full time work with them but had to concede as she was still a teen at that time. Nevertheless, she continued to develop creative writing skills over the decades.
Ms. Vaughn's first love has always been poetry but she consists in fiction of various genres for children, young adults and adults. Explore more of her stories and poetic works via her website, www.jessvaughnwrites.com.
