Overview
An energetic exploration of mindfulness through one kid's quest to catch a frog
One summer evening, Sammy takes Chocolate for a walk to the muddy marsh behind their house in search of frogs. They poke and peek, hearing frogs everywhere, croaking and chirping, clucking and burping, but can't spot any. It's only after Sammy and Chocolate stop and flop onto the grass, drifting into "frogness"--not thinking, just being--that frogs come out flying Plink, plop, splash, splatter Too fast and slippery to catch. Happy and weary from the chase, Sammy and Chocolate rest and soak up the tones of frog-song.
Written in free verse, this book's buoyant language immerses readers in the rich atmosphere of a marsh at sunset. Its energetic lilt invites wonder and curiosity. At the same time, it highlights mindfulness and the hidden rewards of patience. This summer read celebrates being part of nature and soaking up all the magnificent details of our environment, whether we are active or at rest.
