Max often goes to the park with his grandfather and sees a very nice girl, Bobby, but he is too shy to introduce himself. So with the help of Grandpa and his good friends Frog, Duck, Pig and Hare, he overcomes his nervousness and lack of confidence and those funny feelings we get when we meet someone special for the first time. Frog proves to Max that new experiences are exciting and nothing to be afraid of and Rat teaches Frog that everyone can be a hero and a friend. Frog in the Clouds is sure to delight audiences with the return of our favorite characters. From the beloved books of Max Velthuijs; Frog is Frog, Frog in Love and Frog is a Hero.

Stellaluna’s adoptive bird mom accepts her into her nest, but only on the condition that Stellaluna will act like a bird, not a bat. Soon Stellaluna has learned to behave like a good bird should. She quits hanging by her feet and starts eating bugs. But when she finally has an opportunity to show her bird siblings what life as a bat is like, all of them are confounded. Anyone who has ever been asked to be someone they’re not will understand the conflicts and possibilities Stellaluna faces.
