The Mermaid's Purse

Based on the life of beloved author-illustrator Patricia Polaccoâ€™s own amazing grandmother, this wonderful celebration of reading and community is as exhilarating as it is heartwarming.
Â
Young Stella loves books so much, her books begin to take over the farmhouse. â€œWhy, Stell, you need your own library to hold those books,â€ her pa tells her, so he and the neighbors build her one! She calls it â€œthe Mermaidâ€™s Purse,â€ since the midwife said Stella was born in one. Stella opens the Purse to her neighbors and travels around the countryside, sharing her books door-to-door. Not everyone gives them a chance at first, like grouchy Pig Ears Lonsberry. But farmer Dunkle sure changes his mind when information in a book saves his sick sheep. Eventually, everybody comes to love the Mermaidâ€™s Purseâ€”so when a tornado destroys it, scattering Stellaâ€™s precious books far and wide, the whole community rallies to help.
