Junior Frog lives in a beautiful, magical valley. But Junior is unhappy because he thinks he is ugly. Because he thinks he is ugly, he acts ugly; and so, no one wants to play with him and he has no friends. A wise old owl exiles Junior from the valley where they live so that Junior can discover "The lesson of the mirror." Junior's hazardous adventures nearly prove fatal, but the good heart he never thought he had saves the day. In the end, Junior can hardly believe what he discovers about "The lesson of the mirror." Written and illustrated by Rufus Williams, The Frog and the Butterfly tells a wonderful story about true beauty. The author says, "I grew up in Mississippi and we were very poor. I guess that's how I came to know and love little critters so much." Rufus Williams currently lives in San Luis Obispo, California. "I love children, and I love animals and all of nature. So this book is very special to me. I have always felt close to nature and nature's creatures. I find them interesting and sometimes wiser than we humans are. The characters kind of took root in my mind and heart, and the story emerged." Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/RufusWilliams
