Mermaid Mail

Mermaid Mail sends children a new letter from a mermaid or mer-boy every month. Each letter is printed on thick paper and closed with a shell wax seal, and comes with a large glitter sticker, colouring pages and a short poem. The stories gently cover themes like kindness, resilience and self-worth, and the cast includes characters with glasses, hearing devices, insulin pumps and other differences.

The series runs for up to 24 months. Letters are posted from South Australia with Australia Post to addresses worldwide. The monthly plan is 13.50 Australian dollars, with 3, 6 and 12 month options for gifting. Put the child's name in the shipping field so letters arrive addressed to them.
