I wrote
Frog in My Basement
to read to my granddaughter. She would stay with us on the farm for a week every summer. She said she could dress herself one day and was having a snack using her tiny tea set.
She was my little vegetable garden helper. She had pink boots and purple gloves with a pink wheelbarrow and pink tools when helping me to pick cucumbers. She helped me prepare the cucumbers to make dill pickles to can.
Her and Grandpa K would try to catch a frog in the garden . She would go with Grandpa K to dig up her own potatoes using her tools. They were great memories of my time with her on the farm. I wanted this book to be for the grandparents to read to the little ones at bedtime so they would have sweet dreams.
