After reading Willow's Bend, you too will be surprised to learn that this is Kat Michaels debut book.
Children will undoubtedly sit in astonished silence, mesmerized by the brightly colored, intricately detailed glossy pages.
This hardcover children's book is easy to read and a delightful adventure for family members of all ages.
Because of the catchy, rhythmic tones used throughout this book, I found myself almost singing the words.
Which, of course, brings smiles, of all shapes and sizes to the faces of children the world over.
Willow's Bend is the story of a grumpy little frog, with four little toes that lives on a lily pad near where the willow tree grows.
He is introduced to a beautiful butterfly, a playful elf, and a rambling rabbit.
All interesting characters but all very different from the frog.
Believing he could only befriend those who were like him, he refuses to play with any of them.
Until he meets another frog.
A happy, singing frog that is on his way to the Willow Tree to meet all of his friends.
Our grumpy little frog learns a valuable lesson - our unique qualities aren't meant to separate us, but to bring us together.
A life lesson of immense importance that is taught with love, tenderness and humor.
Willow's Bend is a definite must have for all parents, grandparents and caregivers.
Kat Michaels is a talented writer, loving mother and wife that has created a work filled with the same magic that fills her heart.
Happy Reading!
