About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling overlooked or anxious about an upcoming milestone like a birthday. It is a perfect choice for children who experience deep 'FOMO' (fear of missing out) or those who might worry that their needs or special days are not a priority for the people they love. The story follows Froggy as he wakes up on his birthday only to find his parents and friends acting as though it is just an ordinary day. As a developmental tool, this book validates the very real feelings of loneliness and disappointment that can occur when expectations are not met. It uses Froggy's signature humor and 'flop-flop-flopping' energy to keep the tone light while addressing the emotional weight of feeling forgotten. Parents will appreciate how it turns a potential crisis of belonging into a celebration of community and love, making it a soothing read for preschoolers and early elementary students who are still navigating their place in the family and social circle.
