Do you remember as a child some of your favorite things? Perhaps it was a stuffed animal, favorite blanket, pajamas or rain boots. This wonderful board book with bright cheery illustrations shows readers just how much one little boy loves his froggy boots. Not only are his froggy boots great for dancing in the rain, but they are perfect for painting, looking for treasure on a make shift pirate boat or visiting the zoo.
Parents will love talking about all the different things kids can do in a green pair of froggy boots. Kids can also practice learning new words in this easy to read beginners book. Your child will have fun flipping these sturdy pages and sharing what they could do if they had a pair too.

Jill Zabkar Martin, author
and publisher.
Jill was born in Minneapolis, Minn. where she lived
until she was five. Memories of her life there are firmly
etched in the frosted panes of windows, the frozen pond in her
backyard without a fence, watching grapes turn into raisins on her
porch, dancing in her pink poncho and swinging from her
grandma's Willow tree. Her family moved to the small town of
Saratoga, Calif. before it was known as Silicon Valley and when she
could pick the most delicious plums from orchards as she walked home
from school. Jill currently lives in the town of Los Gatos,
Calif. with her loving husband and two children.
Prior to
founding JZM Media, Jill was a technology writer and publicist.
She was Public Relations Manager at Cisco Systems and Account Manager
at Walt & Company Communications before joining Loughlin/Michaels
Group as a Senior Account Manager consultant. Her
client history includes both emerging and established companies
such as Blue Coat Systems, Crescendo, Cyclades/Avocent, Epson
America, FireEye, Harmonic, Mirapoint, NetScaler/Citrix, Nokeena
Networks, Sprint PCS and others. Jill has architected numerous
successful PR campaigns, launches and speaker programs as
well as ghost writing and editing many articles that have been
published in technology and trade publications. Jill holds a BA
in English from the University of California at Santa Barbara and an
MBA from San Jose State University.
