Description
Little Frog is trying to help his new family, but, like a human toddler, he keeps getting it wrong and causing chaos! He never hits his new siblings, but he does draw on their faces while they are asleep! This makes his parents very upset and Little Frog thinks this means they don't love him anymore. But of course they do - and they follow him to the ends of the earth to prove it.

Jakob Martin Strid (born 1972) inDenmark. He began his career as a cartoonist and had his breakthrough with the general public with a daily strip entitled 'Strid' in the Copenhagen daily, Politiken. The strip's main character's diminutive body and large head with spiky hair is a cartoon version of himself. His satirical talent quickly won Strid a position as a controversial cartoonist. The anti-authoritarian, humorous, and poetic blend continued in Strid's children's books, though in a form that was less harsh. There the political satire was transformed to an anarchistic, humorous tale with great sympathy for the foreigner and the outsider. With the picture book Little Frog (2005), Jakob Martin Strid won a picture book competition sponsored by the largest Danish publishing house, Gyldendal. The book went on to win the BOFA (a children's librarians' group) Cultural Honorary Award.
