James Mikel WilsonJames Mikel Wilson resides in Houston, Texas. Mr. Froggy's dilemma is his third book. He has also posted many blogs on his author website: www.jamesmikelwilson.com He can also be found on Instagram as @jamesmikelwilson The children in his life, both n his own family and families of friends and neighbors, inspired this true story about Mr. Froggy's dilemma. It started out as a long adventure letter to his grandchildren about a large, rare bullfrog that the author's dog eagerly chased into the swimming pool. The adventure morphed into a book as a result of encouragement from friends and family. As the young reader will discover, there are multiple dilemmas in the story. The explicit ones range from how will the frog escape the pool? Once it escapes, where does it go? What incentive does the frog need to pursue a new life and adventure? And, then there is the dilemma of climate change. Some implicit dilemmas that might surface for discussion with a child include acceptance, discrimination over physical differences, bullying, fear of change, and taking chances. The book introduces the young reader to a few scientific terms, asks the child to do a little research, and engages the child in coming up with solutions. These solutions even introduce the concepts of chapter titles. Why they are important. And, how they help a child organize and write her or his own stories. The book also deliberately challenges and broadens their vocabulary. Twelve early readers from Toronto, Boston, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Miami, St. Louis, Houston, The Woodlands, San Diego, and San Francisco endorsed the book.
