The Frog Who Jumped Backwards by Nyambura Mpesha

The Frog Who Jumped Backwards by Nyambura Mpesha is a Sparrow Readers story. The book tells the tale of a frog who, for some reason or other, begins to jump backward instead of forward. Through humour, changes in relations, and perhaps misunderstandings, the story explores what difference it makes to behave differently, how others respond to unusual behaviour, and what being unique means. It’s aimed at primary school readers working on reading fluency, character‑traits, consequences, and social relationships in easy accessible English.
