COURT of the DIVERSE MERMAIDS Presents MERKIDZ: A Body Positive, Multi-Ethnic, All-Ages Coloring Book

CODM presents MERKIDZ is another playful, yet poignant exploration of legitimate diversity and originality first explored in Court of the Diverse Mermaids, and followed up in CODM presents MerBoyz. In this third book, the younger generation takes center stage in a coloring book dedicated entirely to them. As with every book from the Court of the Diverse Mermaids, the characters represent a wealth of ethnic backgrounds and body types.

This book is designed as an innocuous means of slowly, positively shifting our own self-images as well as how we view others, via the beautifully innocent and creative conduit of interacting with a coloring book. It can be a wonderful tool for subtle empowerment, self-expression, self-acceptance, relaxation, meditation, unwinding, and relieving stress. Within are more than 26

wonderfully unique mer-children for your enjoyment. It's a treat for many ages and it makes a perfect gift!

Welcome to the world of the MERKIDZ!

Micah BlackLight can perhaps be described as a defiant, volcanic force of Nature's creation, wearing the body of a brown-skinned catalyst and bursting with perpetual enthusiasm. A multi-media, multi-platform, multi-dimensional artist, writer, orator, coach, mentor, and fashion designer proficient in a myriad of mediums: visual, graphic, audible and otherwise. He is determined to create as many different works of art in as many mediums as possible while detonating spirits along the way and leaving trails of empowering, inspiring experiences in his wake like a spirit boat on the lake of existence.
