About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the weight of a promise or trying to wiggle out of a commitment they made in a moment of desperation. It is a vital tool for those parenting moments where a child needs to understand that their word is their bond, even when following through feels inconvenient or unpleasant. Rachel Isadora reimagines the classic Grimm tale with stunning African-inspired illustrations that breathe new life into the traditional narrative. The story follows a princess who promises a frog anything if he retrieves her golden ball, only to find she is reluctant to share her meals and home with him. Beyond the magic and transformation, the core of the book explores accountability and the maturing process of moving from self-centeredness to integrity. It is an ideal pick for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate social contracts and the ethical importance of keeping their word.
