"... highly recommended for public and school libraries, as well as Jewish libraries, where its blend of environmental education, Israeli history, and hopeful storytelling will resonate with a wide range of readers." -- AJL News and Reviews

**This is a story of environmental hope.**

**It is a story of resilience.**

**It is a story of... a frog.**

In the 1950s, measures to control malaria led to the destruction of the Hula painted frog's unique marshy habitat along the River Jordan in Israel. Decades passed, and after trying many times to find the frog, scientists declared the species extinct. But in 2011, the frog leaped into the scientific spotlight when it reemerged in the waters of a small nature preserve. Against all the odds, the species had managed to survive, hidden from humans for more than fifty years in the grass and mud.

This delightful picture book tells the story of the frog's miraculous return from the brink of extinction. Told from the perspective of one of the frogs, it is a heart-warming cautionary tale that will inspire children to care for and help protect the environment.
