The Big Little Frog

Book excerpt: A tiny story. A powerful parable. An unlikely protagonist. The Big Little Frog. At a pond that serves as a lovely neighbourhood for a close-knit community of frogs, the tide is turning. There’s talk of change, and not everyone is happy, some simply don’t know how to feel. The stage is set for a natural born leader to croak up and take command. * * * The Big Little Frog is a short story by Sameer Kochure, author of ‘Made of Flowers and Steel’ - an empowering poetry collection for women and the beloved book series ‘A Young Boy And His Best Friend, The Universe’. The Big Little Frog also contains a preview of Sameer’s latest book ‘The Tiny Fireball’. Some readers have compared his latest novel ‘The Tiny Fireball’ to Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Ocean at the End of the Lane’ and Yann Martel’s ‘Life of Pi’. 'The Tiny Fireball' is a sci-fi fantasy with shades of paranormal romance. It's a story of a lonely shipwrecked man, drifting aimlessly on a battered life raft, who encounters a cute little alien in the shape of a tiny spark, and together they embark on a timeless, soul-searching adventure that changes the course of their lives forever. 'The Tiny Fireball' is out now, wherever good books are sold.
