While Katy and her family spend a snowy Christmas away at Grandma's house, a cold and clever little frog jumps at the chance to move into their warm, empty home. Unfortunately, so does every other four-legged forest dweller in the area. With the perfect holiday vacation house overrun with guests, chaos quickly erupts until the group finds a peaceful solution in this holiday tale of tails. What begins as a break from the wintry woolly land transforms into an annual holiday tradition of kindness and generosity. The Frog at the Window is a Christmas tale with a message for every season!
Excerpt
Tonight was the very first storm of the year,
and surprising how much it had snowed.
The Randalls were packed and all ready for bed,
with plans to wake early and then hit the road.
"Now Christmas was only a few days away”,
thought Katy, relaxed by the tree.
“How will we ever reach Grandmother’s house,
when it’s snowing so hard I can’t see?”
And then as she sat staring into the night,
through the blustery, snowy white fog-
there stood, in the cold window’s lower right edge,
a tiny, green, shivering frog.
