Goliath’s Secret

Near a waterfall in the lush West African forest, seven animals encounter the wonderful, but silent, Goliath Frog. They all feel sorry for this giant, believing that he is unable to communicate. In rhyme and prose the West African animals describe the unique ways in which they communicate with one another. Using objects found in nature, they also try to help Goliath find his own voice. The caring animals are disappointed when the frog does not respond…. until he reveals his own surprising secret. Beautifully illustrated with 32 original watercolors, this wonderful tale is meant to be shared with children of all ages for its lessons in listening, helping, and accepting diversity in the world all around us.
