With financial support from CNCF, Anne-Marie Diaz prepares to release her first children’s book, “The Flying Mermaid.” This book aims to inspire kids to dream big, believe in themselves, and pursue their goals. The story follows a determined mermaid’s quest to fly, using books, observation, friends’ advice, and determination to achieve her aspiration.

Diaz aims to write stories that encourage children towards positive and pro-social behaviours.

In The Flying Mermaid, a young mermaid is determined to find a way to make her greatest wish come true—to fly. With the power of books, observation, advice from supportive friends, and determination, she sets out to discover how she can reach the sky.
