Book Details
A child’s love has the power to transform.
In a lush green garden, behind the family home, a stone frog sits at attention. He has been in this yard for many years, content to just watch, to guard all he can see. One day he is brought to life by the magical kiss of a young girl and the soft whispers of her sister and her friend. He comes alive and plays in the yard until the magic disappears and he goes back to his life of guarding. They have a shared secret now and he knows his life has changed forever—and that freedom will come another day. The Sentinel Frog is a modern fairy tale reminiscent of The Velveteen Rabbit—where kindness and love can create miracles!
