This is a truly magical book, one of those sweet picture books you pick up because the illustrations are so captivating, but then you end up falling in love with the characters and the message. Pertinent to our current world, Santi the tree frog must learn to embrace his fears and try new things even in the midst of disaster. Santi is separated from his family by a flood, something my hometown recently experienced, and discovers new friends of all sizes and shapes along the way - a wonderful message to teach to young children and a good reminder for those of all ages. Santi will capture your heart the way he captured mine.
