"This is the turtle that slid into the pond and ate the snake that dropped from a branch and swallowed the fish that swam after the frog -- JUMP, FROG, JUMP!" This infectious cumulative tale will soon have the young frogs you know jumping and chanting with joy.

“Little Frog dreamed about leaping high into the sky, and laughing with the other frogs, but Little Frog was afraid. So day after day he didn’t even try, and day after day, he passed the puddle by. While day after day his friends would fly. Until one day...” Little Frog, Big Jump is a story of perseverance. Little Frog not only finds the courage to face his fear, but discovers the importance of empathy, with a twist in the story that teaches the value of having a growth mindset and learning to laugh at yourself!
