Who are the MerKids?

Where Fantasy Meets the Deep Blue

The MerKids were born from the same heartbeat as An Eco Minded Childhood: a deep desire to connect children with the natural world. But while our “Explore Outdoors” series focuses on real-world vlogs and muddy-boots adventures, The MerKids takes a different, more magical approach.

We call it our “Fanta-sea” format.

Through the MerKids, I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming an author and illustrator, creating a world where imagination is the bridge to conservation. Our goal is to make the ocean’s greatest challenges feel approachable, empowering, and—most importantly—fun.

Two Sisters, One Magic Secret

The MerKids are actually two human sisters (inspired by my own daughters, Maisie and Mila!) who serve as protectors of the sea. Armed with magic bracelets, they can transform into mermaids at a moment’s notice, diving deep into the waves to go on epic rescue missions.

Moreover, the WordPress community and theme developers are actively contributing to a growing library of block patterns, making it easier for users to find a pattern that suits their needs. Whether you’re building a landing page, a photo gallery, or a complex layout, there’s likely a block pattern ready to use. This democratizes design for non-technical users while offering developers a way to extend WordPress functionality and provide more options to their clients.

Our Book Series

We have two distinct ways for your young ocean explorers to dive in:

• MerKids: Saving the Seas (Early Reader Chapter Books) These are high-stakes fantasy adventures written for kids who love a good story. Each book weaves real-life ocean challenges—like ghost nets, disappearing kelp forests, and cold stunning—into an entertaining narrative. The MerKids show readers that while the problems are real, they can be overcome through bravery, teamwork, and heart.
• Everything a MerKid Needs to Know (Picture Book Series) Designed for younger fans, this series is all about wonder. Adorable mermaid guides lead the way through vibrant pages filled with fascinating ocean facts, proving that the truth about our sea is often more magical than fiction.
