Part of the Kwantlen Stories Then and Now series, this story explores the healing power of the frog, told by award-winning storyteller Joseph Dandurand with stunning illustrations by Elinor Atkins.
In the Kwantlen village, Tsa’kwi’ah tries her best to help the other children gather wood, mend nets and stoke the fires, but she’s small and can’t keep up. Then she finds a green frog. The frog smiles at her and she smiles back. She touches the frog, and she becomes tall and strong. She runs with the children and carries fish for her father. When Tsa’kwi’ah’s mother and the other villagers become sick with red spots and fever, Tsa’kwi’ah remembers the green frog. Can the touch of the frog help her family and friends too?
For children ages 6–8, Joseph Dandurand’s fifth children’s story continues reimagining Kwantlen legends, following The Bears and the Magic Masks (2024), The Girl Who Loved the Birds (2023), A Magical Sturgeon (2022) and The Sasquatch, the Fire and the Cedar Baskets (2020).
