“High above the ground, in the heart of a beautiful and swampy rain forest, a small green frog with big red eyes is rousing from his daytime slumber, in the cradle of a leaf.

‘I love the night,’ croaks the tiny tree frog. "It is so fabulously fabulous for calling to my companions and for creeping across the canopy."

I Love The Night is a delightful and original children’s picture book remarkably enhanced with unique, paper collage creations... especially recommended for children ages 3 to 8.
