Hello, everyone, and Happy New Year! I want to say how much I appreciate all of my blog followers, old and new, especially those of you who have liked, shared, or commented on any of my posts throughout the past year, and those who have stuck with me for many years. Frog on a Blog turns 15 in the fall, and I wouldn’t have kept going if not for all of you. Thank you ❤️

In the spirit of starting fresh for the new year, and because of my love for all things animals and nature, I’ve decided to tweak Frog on a Blog just a tiny bit. I will still be sharing and celebrating picture books with reviews, guest posts, and interviews, but my focus will be on picture books that feature animals and/or nature in some way.

So be on the lookout for new picture book reviews in the coming weeks and months. And if you’re an author or illustrator with a picture book that includes animals or nature, I want to hear from you. Whether it’s a book about discovering the joys of a hike in the woods or just one little dog in the background of a story set in a big city, if it has anything to do with animals or nature, I’m interested. Reach out via my Contact Form, and, who knows, maybe you’ll be featured on Frog on a Blog very soon. I will continue to be open to spotlighting picture books of all sorts, with or without animals and/or nature, with Happy Book Birthday posts.

To accompany some of my upcoming book reviews, Finley (the frog on a blog) will share interesting animal or nature facts, like the one below.

Thanks again for following Frog on a Blog. I can’t wait to share many more beautiful picture books with you this year! Stay tuned!
