About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing a deep fascination with the 'scary' parts of nature or expresses anxiety about things that go bump in the night. It serves as a gentle introduction to the cycle of life, reframing the unknown shadows of the forest into a relatable story of a small creature navigating its world with caution and courage. Through stunning photography, children see that being small does not mean being helpless. The book follows a single night in the life of a Central American red-eyed tree frog. It documents the frog's search for food while avoiding predators like a hungry boa constrictor. It captures themes of resilience and survival in a way that feels like an adventure rather than a biology lecture. This is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are moving from cartoon animals to a more realistic understanding of the natural world.
