Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the sting of a parent's unreliability or the complex emotions of a changing family structure. It is an essential choice for families navigating separation or divorce, particularly when one parent frequently misses scheduled visits or fails to keep promises. Through the story of Billy and his frog-jumping contest, the book validates the deep disappointment a child feels when let down by a caregiver while gently shifting the focus toward the stability of the parent who is consistently present. It is appropriate for elementary-aged children who need to see their own feelings of abandonment or frustration reflected in a realistic, non-judgmental way. Parents will appreciate how Eve Bunting balances the heartbreak of a father's absence with the empowering realization that a child's worth is not defined by a parent's mistakes. The lush oil paintings provide a comforting backdrop to a story that encourages resilience and acceptance.
