Description:
<div><b>An exuberant frog hunt, full of mud, muck, and wonder, leads to a playful exploration of mindfulness</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As rain clouds bloom across the sea and the first stars wink, Sammy and Chocolate tiptoe into the marsh behind their house in search of frogs. They can hear frogs everywhere—croaking, chirping, clucking, burping—but though they poke and peek, wriggle and sneak, they can’t spot even one. It’s only after Sammy and Chocolate stop looking, flop onto the grass, and fade into frogness—no thinking, just being—that frogs come flying. <i>Plink! Plop! Splatter! Splash!</i> Too slippery and fast to catch!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
Written in lively, lilting free verse, <i>Frogness</i> invites curiosity and energetic play while also highlighting mindfulness and the hidden rewards of patience. Lush paintings and buoyant language immerse readers in the rich atmosphere of a marsh at sunset. This joyful summer read celebrates being part of nature and soaking up all the sounds and sensory details of our environment, whether we are active or at rest.</div>
