《Seven Little Frogs》

A tadpole’s body changes every day on its journey to becoming a frog, and the clothes that fit yesterday no longer fit today. Isn’t this just like us? From school to the workplace, from one city to another, we are constantly transforming, constantly discovering that our old selves no longer ‘fit.’ Today, we’re talking about the Japanese classic picture book that sold over a million copies, *Seven Little Frogs*. Through five delightful stories about wearing clothes, finding a belly button, and learning to sing, we’ll uncover gentle insights about growth, self-identity, and gratitude.   Key Highlights  · The metaphor of ill-fitting clothes: The tadpole’s transformation into a frog mirrors our ever-evolving lives. Every time something doesn’t ‘fit,’ it means you’ve grown.  · Not having a belly button makes you unique: When others have something you don’t, it’s not necessarily a flaw; perhaps you’re on a completely different life path.  · Turning a loud voice into music: Traits you once saw as shortcomings could become your unique gifts when you change the setting or perspective.  When thinking about *Seven Little Frogs*, do you recall moments in your own growth where the ‘clothes didn’t fit’? Or do you have someone like Grandpa Rabbit in your life who silently supports you? Feel free to share your stories with us in the comments section.

The Awakening Kate Chopin Owing to its highly personal content focused on feminine sexuality, this LibriVox edition was recorded by eight female readers. The Modern Library edition of The Awakening has an introduction by Kay Gibbons, who writes: “The Awakening shocked turn-of-the-century readers with its forthright treatment of sex and suicide. Departing from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine’s desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class life are the themes of this now-classic novel.” – As Kay Gibbons points out, Chopin “was writing American realism before most Americans could bear to hear that they were living it.”To give you an idea of the subject matter, Project Gutenburg catalogues The Awakening under "Adultery -- Fiction -- Women -- Louisiana -- New Orleans -- Social conditions.
