Froggy Family’s First Frolic A story about frogs, family, and the quiet magic of the natural world—still fresh, still timely, and meant to be shared.
Is this painting a sunrise—or a sunset?
Can you tell the difference without knowing the story behind it?
This image is one of sixteen full-color reproductions of original oil paintings featured in Froggy Family’s First Frolic, a children’s picture book written and illustrated by Margot Fass. The story is semi-fictional yet biologically plausible, inspired by an idea from her late husband, Martin Fass.
So—is it sunrise or sunset?
You’ll have to read the book to find out.
About the Book
Froggy Family’s First Frolic follows a single night in the life of a Red-Eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas) family. New parents Fern and Reid take their offspring on their very first outing, where curiosity, courage, and a small but meaningful adventure, centered on Paddy, unfold.
An epilogue offers gentle, factual insight into the natural habits of the Red-Eyed Tree Frog, blending story with learning.
Frogs are remarkably like us: they eat, sleep, reproduce, play, and even have nearly as many bones as humans. Like all living beings, they deserve compassionate care, curiosity, and respect, a theme woven quietly throughout the book.
