Frog Girl

(4) K-3 A Native girl watches some village boys capturing frogs from a nearby lake. When an elder from the frog village asks for her help, the girl frees the frogs, averting the destruction of her village. The illustrations are bold but sometimes awkward. A lengthy author's note explains that this original story is based on motifs in Native folklore of the Pacific Northwest.
