Award winning authoress, Kristy Jo Volchko’s Cackleberry Creek Series is four books that entertain young children while giving them inspiration to love themselves (regardless their individual abilities or lack thereof) and to be compassionate toward others~ Five Stars- LAS Book Reviews Frogs Can Fly, is a charming look at differences and how each of our differences make us special, unique and, yes, beautiful~Five stars- Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers’ Favorite ...it is a true joy to watch Lulu’s journey of self-discovery through an action that comes as second nature to her, but which is seen as a magnificent gift through the eyes of so many of her peers~Five Stars- Rosie Malezer for Readers’ FavoriteThis is an exceptionally written book for children. It portrays the insecurities that many children often have through Lulu’s self-doubt early on in the story. However, it encourages the reader to be proud of the distinctive qualities that make him/her extraordinary. It teaches the reader to embrace his/her own strengths. Yet, the story promotes the reader to have an overall appreciation for all the unique traits that others possess as well.From a teacher’s perspective, the book would be great to use in an elementary classroom to boost self-esteem and introduce diversity. The book also has the perfect combination of practical, every day vocabulary paired with more challenging words that can be taught through context clues. It is a terrific read that my children and students request repeatedly!~ Five Stars- Tara Zimmerman [Mother & Educator] 3
