Inside The Mystical Amulet

The Mystical Amulet is our second storybook, and it takes bedtime under the sea. Kai turns into three different sea creatures, and each one has a job.

The story

Kai helps a stranded little fish, and it turns out to be Lira, a sea fairy. Her thank-you gift is an amulet that turns him into sea creatures.

Behind the scenes

  1. A little one in our first collection.

    The idea worked. Parents loved our first collection and told us so all over social media.

  2. A pencil sketch of Lira the sea fairy.

    A team of illustrators. They draw prints made only for us, so each one fits its book.

  3. Kai as a mandarin fish.

    A new animal to meet. We like to sneak one in. This time, it's the mandarin fish.

  4. A child in the Kelp Forest pajama set.

    Our first bonus print. Kelp Forest, the spot where Inky got stuck.

How it all began: Inside The Enchanted Crown.

Fun facts to share at bedtime

  • Mandarin fish hover and steer with their fins, like tiny helicopters.

  • Whale sharks are gentle giants. They eat tiny plants and animals they filter from the water.

  • Sea turtles have swum the oceans for millions of years.

  • Octopuses squirt ink to hide. Inky does it while she waits for help.

  • Kelp forests are like underwater cities, with homes for all kinds of sea creatures.

The heart of the story

It all starts with one small kind thing: Kai helping a stranded fish.

He held the mystical amulet tightly, reflecting on how a small act of kindness had led to a wondrous journey that saved the reef.

Ask at bedtime Which sea creature would you turn into, and why?

The characters (and their reef)

Kai shows up three times, once for each sea creature he becomes.

Read it together

It's a sturdy board book, with a read-aloud on YouTube and the eBook on Amazon Kindle.
