Synopsis: A little frog’s first leap out into the world is a big, scary thing. But luckily, mama is always there to catch him when he comes home. As the leaps get bigger, frog gets braver—and before he knows it, he’s soaring out to the moon and beyond!
This loveable little frog will hurdle his way into your heart. Come leap along, and see what it’s like to shoot for the stars . . . and always have a landing pad ready to catch you.

Review: 4 Stars - Leap Back To Me By Author Lauren Thompson & Matthew Cordell is a sweet story about a frog and his first steps away from home. First small, gaining in size with each leap he takes. The moral of the story, which is told in cute pictures and equally cute story, is that you can always go home and how mom will be there to come home to with open arms after each “leap” away is a great story for younger kids. It’s a great lesson to kids about getting older.
