About The Book
Let Go to Let Grow is a reflective picture book that follows Otter and Frog through a familiar habit—collecting—until their journey begins to ask something different of them. As their bucket grows heavier, so does the question of what it means to carry more than we need.
Through simple moments and gentle shifts, the story explores how holding on can sometimes make the path harder, and how sharing, trust, and release can open space for something new. Rather than offering answers, the book invites readers to pause, notice, and reflect on their own experiences of change.
Designed to be read together, Let Go to Let Grow creates room for conversation, curiosity, and connection—for children and the adults alongside them.
