Dear Treefrog
by Joyce Sidman (Author) Diana Sudyka (Illustrator)
Capturing the joy of finding a kindred spirit, this stunning picture book by Newbery Honor-winning poet Joyce Sidman tells the story of a lonely girl moving into a new home and the little treefrog that helps her connect to the beautiful world around her.
When a shy girl moves to a strange new home, she discovers a treefrog perched in a secret spot nearby and learns that sometimes, all it takes to connect with the people and the world around us is a little patience, a curious mind, and a willingness to see the world through a different perspective than your own.
With beautiful gouache illustrations by Diana Sudyka and magical, perceptive poems from Newbery Honor-winning author Joyce Sidman, the lives of one tree frog and the girl who discovers it converge, bringing solace, courage, and joy in finding a kindred spirit.

"Sidman displays her usual gift for careful, vividly turned free verse.... Sudyka's gouache scenes are lush and verdant, depicting the teeming richness of life in an ordinary backyard."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
