The Book

A frog unlike any other.

"Her splash of colour made her both easy and impossible to hide."

Tai isn't green like her mum and dad. She's a swirling, glowing, magnificent tie-dye frog — and she's always wondered where her extraordinary colours came from.

On her very first day of school, Professor Pearl sets the class a challenge: learn one new thing about yourself. For Tai, the question she carries runs much deeper — and that evening, her parents are finally ready to share the most beautiful story she's ever heard.

Warm, honest, and quietly profound, this is a book that opens the door to conversations every family deserves to have — in language young hearts can truly feel.
