Sleigh Bells in Springtime Jessica R Kratz

"Sleigh Bells in Springtime" [Frogs Calling] is the story of a young girl who searches for the source of a sound and finds so much more: a love of frogs, a sense of place, quality time with her father and her sister, and the opportunity to participate in actual citizen science. Written in vivid verse with fun illustrations, "Sleigh Bells" connects to both the young and young at heart, inspiring people connect with spring peepers and a chorus of other calls, which, without the concerted effort of all of us, may be silenced forever. A fun story with many layers of depth, like the pond itself, "Sleigh Bells" ring, and it's great to read, read-aloud, or listen.
