New Children’s Book Frog’s Boating Adventures: Frog Finds Friends on The Great Loop Helps Kids Explore Faith, Friendship, and Feelings

Abundance Books is pleased to announce the release of Frog’s Boating Adventures: Frog Finds Friends on The Great Loop by Teresa K. Lasher. This children’s chapter book is a heartwarming tale that helps readers navigate big feelings, build friendships, and grow in faith, one journal entry at a time.

Set against the backdrop of America’s Great Loop, the story follows Frog, a curious traveler aboard the boat Sanctuary. Through adventures on the water and thoughtful journal reflections, Frog learns that the name F.R.O.G. stands for Fully Rely On God. As Frog records each experience, children see how journaling can help them process emotions, overcome fears, and discover that faith brings peace even in uncertain waters.

“Frog models what every child needs to learn—to pause, reflect, and rely on God when life feels overwhelming,” said Teresa Janzen, Editor-in-Chief at Abundance Books. “This book gives families and classrooms a gentle, faith-filled way to talk about feelings, friendship, and trust.”

Inspired by a real 5,778-mile voyage around America’s Great Loop, Frog’s Boating Adventures blends true experiences with timeless lessons. The charming illustrations by Colleen Wray of Minnesota bring the waterways and characters to life. Each chapter ends with conversation prompts that invite readers to reflect, write, and pray.

Frog’s Boating Adventures: Frog Finds Friends on The Great Loop (ISBN 978-1-963377-34-7) is available now through Abundance Books LLC, major retailers, online booksellers, bookstores, and through Teresa K. Lasher www.frogsboatingadventures.com/, and Colleen Wray.
