All Bob really wants is to be a ROCKET FROG, but the Rocket Frogs have other ideas: 'To be in our crew, you have to be smooth! You haven't got our beat. And you ain't got our moves!' But as Bob - and the Rocket Frogs - will find out, the best friends are the ones who accept you as you are: "You see, I learned a lesson, something wise and true... Friends that are worth having, love you because you're YOU!'
An uplifting story that celebrates individuality and encourages children to be inclusive of others.

So many of us are looking for gentle stories about inclusion. Our top recommendation on the topic?
Friendship for Frogs, a sweet and funny picture book, written by Zanna Davidson and illustrated throughout by Mark McKinley, about a frog called Bob who just wants to be part of the cool rocket frog crew. But because he doesn't look like them, he is not welcomed. Luckily a group of outcasts ask Bob to join their club, teaching the rocket frogs a big lesson on what it means to make new friends too. We also love that there's a page at the back that teaches little ones about the real rocket frogs, where they can be found and how they live.
