A must-read for parents who want to inspire their children to balance self-care with helping others.

Frog is determined to win the town obstacle race, but every time he tries to practice, his friends ask for his help. Torn between supporting his friends and achieving his own goal, Frog discovers that with a little creativity-and the help of his family-he can manage both.

Perfect for busy parents and educators, Ready... Set... Frog! is a delightful, five-minute story that opens up important conversations about self-care, boundaries, and prioritizing goals. With vibrant illustrations and playful moments where children can join in by shouting "FROG!", this book is an engaging read for all ages.

Part of the beloved Harmony Lane Adventures series, Ready... Set... Frog! is more than just a fun story-it's a practical tool that empowers children to take care of themselves while still being there for others.
