Frog Face

Are you upset or is that just your face? Join Frog on her non-grumpy journey in this humorous picture book perfect for anyone who has been told to smile more.

“Cheer up, Frog! You look grouchy!”

But Frog isn't grouchy. She just has a frowny face! It's been that way since she was an itty bitty little egg. Smiling just isn’t in her DNA. She’d rather be left alone. Only, when Frog has to leave her cozy little home, she quickly realizes how often she gets judged by her resting frog face. The more her neighbors tell her to cheer up, the less cheerful she feels.

Frog Face serves as a gentle reminder not to judge someone before you truly know them. And even though Frog might enjoy being alone, she could use at least one good friend who loves her exactly as she is.

This heartwarming, humorous story highlights the importance of authentic connection and celebrates all faces—smiley, frowny, upside-downy, and frog.
