Discover the incredible true story of "The Original Mermaid," Annette Kellerman, a girl who wanted to dance, swim, and feel free-and who grew into a woman who fought for the right to do just that! Annette loved to dance and twirl and pirouette. But when she got sick and had to start wearing braces on her legs, Annette stopped dancing. Until, one day, her dad took her swimming. Annette could finally dance again-in the water! She water danced her way to England, where she performed water ballets, attempted daring dives, and competed in swim races. When she competed against men (and won!), she realized it wasn' t fair that women had to swim in full skirts, so she made her own swimsuit, and fought for the right to wear it. Experience the journey of an independent and determined young woman, who swam, danced, dove, and designed so she could live her life feeling free.
Katherine Mazeika is an author, illustrator, and designer with a BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design. When she isn' t in the studio, she likes to spend time at the theater, in her garden, or getting lost in a good book. She lives in Ohio with her husband, two kids (Lillian and Jack), and two dogs.
