ReplyDeleteTitle of Project: "The Frog and the Mermaid"
Genre: Illustrated Children's Book on the adventures of the frog and the mermaid
Synopsis: This book (which could be made into a series) will provide an adventurous tale about an adorable lovable frog who meets a beautiful mermaid. While entertaining the reader with adventures, the story will also provide learning opportunities for the children about safety, responsibility, accepting others for who they are, and other valuable lessons. Example: When the frog and mermaid first meet, they are afraid of each other because of their differences. But they soon learn to accept and eventually love each other for who they are, and learn that their various talents can benefit each other to become stronger together, and enjoy life more by having the other one in their life.
