Spring is here again at Cackleberry Creek and young Lulu is full of questions about everything! "When will I grow bigger? Why do cows eat grass? Why is the sky blue?" One thing Lulu knows for sure is, she isn't feeling very pretty or special today. She wishes she were a bird, a squirrel, a cat...
anything
but a green ole frog! With a little help from Mama and her pals, can she learn to love herself for being her? Through it all, Lulu learns that being special doesn't mean being like
someone else. In addition, maybe...just maybe, frogs can fly too!

...it is a true joy to watch Lulu's journey of self-discovery through an action that comes as second nature to her, but which is seen as a magnificent gift through the eyes of so many of her peers~
Five Stars- Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite
This is an exceptionally written book for children. It portrays the insecurities that many children often have through Lulu's self-doubt early on in the story. However, it encourages the reader to be proud of the distinctive qualities that make him/her extraordinary. It teaches the reader to embrace his/her own strengths. Yet, the story promotes the reader to have an overall appreciation for all the unique traits that others possess as well.
From a teacher's perspective, the book would be great to use in an elementary classroom to boost self-esteem and introduce diversity. The book also has the perfect combination of practical, every day vocabulary paired with more challenging words that can be taught through context clues. It is a terrific read that my children and students request repeatedly!~
