Searching For Light follows the journey of a young, determined mermaid named Luz, who is challenged by Pokey the Pelican to find a precious gem at the bottom of the ocean. If she succeeds, she will solve Earth's problem of division and separation. During her journey, Luz is humbled, faces her ego, and ultimately surrenders her desire to win (thus, winning). Her own reflection guides her to live truthfully with how she feels. This book teaches the positive character building blocks of humility, honesty, and gratitude.
