This black and white edition tells the story of a pharaoh whose son was changed into a frog by a sorcerer. This sorcerer told the frog that he could become human again once every one hundred years if he would be kissed by an Egyptian princess.The frog wandered in Egypt for a long time, witnessing events and remembering them, and eventually came to the US. There he found a child who was the daughter of a medical doctor of Egyptian descent. The frog told her that one of her ancestors was a pharaoh and that therefore she was an Egyptian princess. He persuaded the child to kiss him.As soon as she did, the frog changed into an Egyptian prince. He was dressed as the son of a pharaoh, and he proceeded to tell her his story. He told her of his life in the palace of his father and described all the important buildings and monuments of the pharaonic period. He described events that happened in the kingdom, as he had witnessed those events first as a prince and then as a frog. Many of the beliefs presented in the story are the products of the author's imagination, such as mermaids, nilemaids, underwater kingdoms, and talks with animals. A belief in sorcery, however, has always existed. The novel is ultimately a moral story. It emphasizes that criminals are caught and that they pay for their crimes.

This is a book of letters I wrote to my daughters, starting when my daughters were toddlers and continuing for over thirty years. Writing "love letters" to your child is rich with positive long-term consequences. It is a chance to compliment your child, affirm her, tell her how she has enriched your life and how much she means to you, thank her, give her encouragement, and tell her you love her. Many parents, like me, are not skilled at expressing their feelings. Writing expressive letters or notes-leaving them in your child's lunch box, under her pillow, in her backpack, taped to the steering wheel, wherever-can go a long way toward strengthening your parent-child relationship. What parents don't long to connect deeply with their children? Sadly, the pressures and demands of daily life conspire to stop this from happening. Writing a love letter to your child is an effective way to strengthen your unique bond with your child and show her how much you care.
