Tonee B. Shelton presents her book about a frog overcoming fear to pursue a new goal.
Tonee B. Shelton will be at Bookpeople on Saturday, August 29, to talk about her latest book, The Scared Frog Takes the Leap. It's a short session, running from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM, so you'll want to get there a few minutes early if you're planning to stick around for the whole thing.
The book follows a frog who decides to fight through fear to go after a new goal. Along the way, the character battles self-doubt and deals with friends who discourage growth, and the story is described as a journey for all ages about dreaming big, listening to your own voice, and taking the leap toward the life you want. It's the kind of story that works just as well for kids as it does for adults, so it's an easy one to bring the whole family to.
Shelton will be the main feature of the morning, and the session centers on the book itself. If you've ever felt that same pull between wanting something new and being afraid to go for it, the themes should hit close to home. It's a small window of time—half an hour—so it's a low-commitment way to spend a Saturday morning.
