Froggy is Paige Walshe's award-winning early graphic novel series about a small, slimy, clumsy frog trying to find his place in a very big world. Leaving his village behind, Froggy tumbles into an ancient pond and gathers a cast of wonderful oddballs - a friendly fish named Fishtopher, a nine-hundred-year-old fluffy being, a wizard or two - discovering wonder, frustration, loneliness and, best of all, the joy of good friends. Bright, expressive and gently funny, with an inviting cartoon style built for newly independent readers, it handles big feelings with a light touch and a warm heart. Winner of the American Library Association's inaugural Outstanding Comics for Children Award, it is a perfect early comic for fans of Frog and Toad, Narwhal and Jelly and Bumble and Snug.
