Francisco the Foolish Frog
Susie Alter Books for Kids
Meet Francisco, a lazy frog with big dreams and even bigger complaints! Living in a crowded, boggy swamp with his fourteen siblings, thirty-five cousins, parents, and grandparents, Francisco feels trapped and misunderstood. Convinced that life owes him more, he spends his days dreaming of freedom and a better life far from the swamp.
But when Francisco meets a new friend facing real challenges, he begins to see his own life in a different light. Suddenly, his so-called problems don’t seem so bad. Can Francisco learn to put others before himself and discover the joy of selflessness? Will he realize that gratitude and contentment are the keys to happiness?
Join Francisco on a humorous journey filled with lessons about compassion, perspective, and personal growth. Francisco the Foolish Frog is a delightful tale that shows how helping others can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life.
