A fun and inspiring book that celebrates friendship, kindness, and determination.
Frogathan Spots is a cheerful and energetic young amphibian who loves his life on Harmony Lane. He enjoys creating and playing games with his friends, but his dream is to win the annual community obstacle course at the upcoming neighborhood fair. However, every time he tries to practice his skills, agility, balance, and hopping, he gets interrupted by someone who needs his help. Whether it is Mole who can’t reach one last shiny apple from high up in a tree or Kitten stuck on the wrong side of the pond, Frog selflessly comes to the aid of those in need. The time for the obstacle course draws near, but since he never had a chance to train the way he wanted to, Frog wonders if he should even compete. His insightful and caring mother lovingly reassures the young amphibian that while things don’t always go the way we want, that doesn’t mean we’ve failed. “It takes practice to balance helping yourself and helping others. I’m still working on it too!” Her kind words help Frog find the right balance between his personal needs and those of his friends, but they also teach a lesson about the unexpected benefits that come from being generous with our time and energy.
