Froggy Girl is a rhyming picture book about a little girl who wishes she was a frog, and her parents, teacher, and friends support her wish. However, despite their support, the girl still struggles because she realizes she couldn’t do all the froggy things which left her feeling sad and lonely. She then goes on a walk and meets a wise turtle that helps her appreciate herself as the beautiful little girl that she is.

I was inspired to write Froggy Girl because I saw the countless number of books that lead children to believe that they were born wrong. Some books even teach kids that they are boring or invisible if they have a healthy relationship with their bodies.

Today, I put in a search for Children’s LGBT books into Amazon, here are a few titles that popped up: “Phoenix Goes to School, A Story to Support Transgender and Gender Diverse Children”, “Who are You? The Kid’s Guide to Gender Identity”, “Eugene the Unicorn: A Kid’s Book to help start LGBTQ Inclusive Conversations”. “The Every Body Book: The LGBTQ+ inclusive Guide for Kids about Sex, Gender, Bodies, and Families”, “My History, My Gender, Me”, “Love Lives Here: A Story of Thriving in a Transgender Family”, “I’ve always wanted a daughter: A Memoir of Parenting a Transgender Child”, “She’s My Dad! A Story for Children Who have a Transgender Parent or Relative”, “My Awesome Brother: A children’s book about transgender acceptance”, “Queerly Autistic: The Ultimate Guide for LGBTQIA+ Teens on the Spectrum”, …the list goes on and on.

I have no marketing team or big name publisher behind me like Scholastic, who published an entire education package for K-12 educators called “Read With Pride” in 2024, which has been distributed in schools and libraries nationwide. All of these LGBTQIA+ books are confusing for children and it’s disturbing.
