I finished reading The Mermaid in the Gherkin Jar and loved it. It’s a fun and imaginative read that offers wisdom, healing and disability education for everyone in the form of an imaginative story. I wish the author the best of success with this book and I look forward to seeing it begin to fill the gap in the special needs community. Rarely, does one find main characters with disabilities in books for kids.

This book is a must read for anyone. I don’t often read children’s books but this book instantly took me back to my childhood.
What a wonderful story of a young boy Christopher who has Cerebral Palsy. Realising he is ‘different’ to the other kids in his class, he seeks advice from a mermaid that he finds in his grandfathers Gherkin Jar. I don’t often read books from cover to cover without stopping but this was one book I just could not put down. A delightful gift for any child.

Tony Seymour’s delightful “The Mermaid in the Gherkin Jar” is a story for children with cerebral palsy and their parents. Read full testimonial…
