About This Book

A parent should reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about a new physical challenge, especially a first swimming lesson. Froggy, a young frog who ironically is afraid of the water, must face his fears with the help of his patient mother. The story hilariously follows Froggy's repeated trips back home to get his forgotten gear, a classic stalling tactic many kids will recognize. It beautifully balances the genuine fear of trying something new with slapstick humor and the unwavering support of a loving parent. Perfect for ages 3 to 6, this book normalizes apprehension and models perseverance in a lighthearted, unforgettable way, making it a go to for building confidence before a big 'first'.
