The Little Mermaid
Linda Daugherty


The Little Mermaid is Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved and well-known fairy tale, which is why it’s not the story our friend, Dolan, is going to tell you today.
No, he’s going to tell you the story about a Little Rain Cloud who falls in love with a human.
They are not the same story at all, he swears.
