Loud Little Mermaids by Sherry Toh & Aaron Yap

Foster greater empathy and awareness about the diversity of human experiences with these illustrative children’s books. With the aim of empowering the community to tell their own stories, these were inspired by true accounts of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy survivor Shalom Lim and Spinal Muscular Atrophy advocate Sherry Toh, illustrated by autistic artists Muhd Noh and Aaron Yap.

Loud Little Mermaids

The children stare at Aurora, adults look awkwardly away. She feels like a fish in an aquarium, isolated from others. Until she meets someone just like her, someone who shows her it is possible to live independently, to be a part of their world.
