About This Book
Willie, the Frog Prince is a thoughtful chapter book exploring the emotional landscape of an eleven-year-old boy named Willie, who is deeply affected by his perfectionist father's high expectations. Willie's journey of self-discovery begins when he forms a friendship with Marla, a new girl at school facing her own difficult home situation. As Willie tries to help Marla, he finds his focus shifting from solely pleasing his father to understanding his own desires and the importance of empathy. The story gently delves into themes of family dynamics, friendship, self-acceptance, and the courage it takes to be true to oneself while navigating complex relationships. It's a heartwarming read for children in early to late elementary school.
