The Story
Discover how a little bit of kindness can bring an entire community together in a crisis.
The frog family love their home on the riverbank, but they know to always stay away from the old tree stump--because a Big Scary Thing lives in there. When a huge storm comes and his friends and family are swept away, Little Frog is blown right into the terrifying stump . . . but what he finds inside changes his life forever. This is a story of kindness, community, and coming together in a time of crisis from award-winning author and illustrator Chris Naylor-Ballesteros.
