About the Book

★★★THE REVIEWS ARE IN!★★★

“Two siblings make sense of a fragile world in an insightful picture book debut from Palazzola that’s set around a clutch of frogspawn.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Tenderly appreciative of the very small, whether that’s brothers or amphibians.”
Kirkus Reviews

“[I]nfuses whimsy into a lesson about a frog’s life cycle, combining the amusing mythology with a bit of science and a beautifully drawn familial relationship. The illustrations are inviting, whether capturing a cavorting sky-frog or sibling shenanigans. An unusual and affectionate reminder to look after the little things—and each other.”
Booklist

“A gentle, contemplative selection for one-on-one sharing or small story times, capturing the shared language of storytelling.”
School Library Journal
