Frog in Winter

Reach for this book when your child feels like the odd one out or is struggling to adapt to a new, harsh, or unfamiliar situation. While their peers might seem to be thriving, your child may feel physically or emotionally exposed, much like Frog without his fur in the biting cold. It is a gentle reminder that everyone has different limits and that asking for help is a sign of strength. The story follows Frog as he navigates the arrival of winter. Unlike his friends Duck, Pig, and Hare, who have feathers, fat, or fur to keep them warm, Frog is cold and miserable. Through his struggle, the book explores themes of vulnerability, the necessity of community, and the warmth of friendship. It is a perfect choice for preschoolers who are beginning to notice physical differences between themselves and others, offering a comforting narrative about being cared for by those who love us.
