2019 collaboration Daddy Frog and the Moon , to create this beautiful picture book about empathy and love.

illustrations will help parents and children come together to uncover the meaning of empathy.
Can you be happy and sad at the same time?
When Toby finds a mermaid stranded in a rock pool on the beach he takes her home and tries to cheer her up with songs,
stories and a paddling pool full of bubbles. For a while Toby and the mermaid have fun but the more the mermaid sees the
love Toby and his family have for each other the more she
misses her own family and home.
A story about feelings, love, happiness and letting go.
