Synopsis

From the multi-award-winning author of No Ballet Shoes in Syria, comes a story of sibling love and loss, healing and hope.

"Catherine is a wonderful storyteller" – Phil Earle


Frog has always known her younger brother Tad is unwell. He has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (called SMA-PME for short) but that has never been an obstacle for their unbreakable bond. They share a room and do everything together, Frog happy to do whatever Tad needs.


But when Tad is taken into hospital, Frog finds it difficult to be in their bedroom alone and starts camping in the garden. She only plans to be there while Tad is away but she finds an unexpected calm amongst the sounds and smells of nature and a space of her own that she's never had before.


When Tad comes up, their bedroom has to change to accommodate all his hospital equipment and Frog isn't sure where she fits in their family anymore. She retreats back into the garden, using the excuse of a sponsored camp out for charity. But as Tad's condition worsens, Frog needs to face the truth that she may not have much longer with him.


Working to bring the small wonders of the natural world to Tad, can Frog find a way to make this last summer together unforgettable?

“My high-energy toddler twins are asleep in 15 minutes. Bedtime used to take nearly 2 hours—but with Rocket’s calming narration and the beautiful stories from the Yawnimals box set, our nights have totally transformed. They YAWN on cue when Rocket YAWNS, and they’re asleep before the story ends.”     - Heather Schalk, Toddler Toolkit Podcast, Mother of 2 toddlers 
“Their favorites are Amanda the Panda (they love the journey), Benny the Bear (truly magical for relaxation), and Lincoln the Lizard (hello, Monster Trucks!).”

Timmy is about to embark on a new adventure. Tomorrow is his first day of school! Timmy and Mummy take a special bus trip into town to buy Timmy a new bag. When they arrive at Wizards' bag store, Timmy is overwhelmed to see so many bags with different colours and sizes. After spending more than two hours in the store, Timmy sees a bag on display high up in the corner with yellow and black stripes. Timmy chooses this bag because it reminds him of a bumble bee. Little does Timmy know that this bag is an unusual bag and, what's more, is very helpful. The night before his first day at school, when Timmy was gently drifting off to sleep, Timmy thought he could hear the bag speaking to him. Over the following days, Timmy will find out just how special and helpful his new school bag can be!
