haiku - big spruce

“Hollingsworth’s inspired words and Gordon-Lucas’s stunning illustrations turn us towards painful truths with insight, inviting us to hold the both-and reality of our heartbreak and hope.”

—Erin Holtz Braekman ∣ poetry editor, Deep Times Journal

“There are many ways to get involved and connect with groups doing conservation work, but a child learning these facts can easily feel overwhelmed or hopeless. Megan Hollingsworth’s Frog Song offers one accessible entry point into the important work of researching these species and finding solutions to our current global ecological health crisis.”

—Gail Whiffen ∣ associate editor, Friends Journal

“Frog Song closes with perspectives from Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, asking readers to ponder the timeless wisdom that everything that dies is born anew. For older kids ready to engage with the tough climate issues alongside Toughie the frog, this lovely book offers robust information, resources, engagement options, and a reflective hint at new ways of seeing our complex predicament.”
