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.
