Yeahbut the Frog
By: M. Celeste Highsmith
Hop into a pond of giggles and gentle lessons with Yeahbut the Frog!
Meet Yeahbut, a curious tadpole who can’t resist a “Yeah, but…” From the moment Mama Frog gathers her little ones for pond safety lessons-“Stay together, or you might get lost!” Yeahbut wonders over to a shiny lily pad and other wiggly wonders. “Yeah, but I just want to look at this pretty flower” he croaks, darting off on solo adventure that lead to bubbly mishaps and big discoveries.
As Yeahbut leaps from excuse to excuse, he learns that questioning is great-for exploring the world and growing strong-but listening keeps you safe and connected. With rhythmic repetition kids will chant along, vibrant pond scenes begging for illustrations, and a heart warming finish where Yeahbut finds his balance, this tale ribbits with real-life magic.
Inspired by a Grandma author’s own son’s sassy phase, Yeahbut the Frog is perfect for ages 4-8, tackling independence, family rules, and boundless curiosity. Parents will love the relatable humor that turns “bedtime battles” into bonding moments, little ones will adore the jumpy fun and empower themselves to wonder wisely. A splashy story that encourages questions while teaching when to leap…and when to listen, and at the same time learn about the speedy growth stages of frogs.
