Summary

This week's free story comes from the Sparkle Sleepytime collection.

It's called "Teeny the Toadlet."

Teeny is a little toadlet who is about to go to school for the very first time. When she realizes that going to Toad School includes leaving some of her friends from the pond and making new friends on land, she grows nervous. Her mother reassures her that toads are lucky because they can make new friends at Toad School while keeping their old friends from the pond.
