Book Cover & Preview Text
Mr MacArthur (trying hard not to laugh) then said “Don’t swim too far, because if you end up in France, you will need a wheelchair to get about, and the only legless folk are not drunk, but those caught by French chefs and served on a platter!” “Don’t worry about me” Froggy arrogantly stated. “You are the old coot who belongs in a wheelchair”. How very rude, Froggy’s words were. (Well children, when people, or even frogs actions are rude, always remember that negative words bring the person saying them negative energy, words can hurt peoples feelings, and a need for good friends means a need to use good actions. When communicating, people benefit from doing what is for the greater good of all as they will then put out positive energy, and so receive it back, and feel happy or more energetic. If people are rude or act selfishly then they will form friendships with people like that)

About the Author
Georgie Shellis was born in Middlesex in the UK and grew up in Pinner with her parents. She would daydream about fictitious characters and animal friends as a child. Thus, she decided to play Peter Pan and not grow up, hence her writing children’s stories as an adult. She has quoted that she feels like a child but is trapped within a woman’s body. Georgina went on to become an herbalist in 1992 and treating people after obtaining a master’s herbalist qualification, along with an iridology qualification. Later in 2008, she qualified as an Emergency Medical Technician with Thames Ambulance Service and then worked for South East Coast Ambulance Service, although she left to teach first aid, which she is still doing at present in the uk. she is also a member of search and rescue. She has two daughters, for whom she originally wrote The Tale of Froggy Green Legs for, and the purpose was to read shorter stories at bedtime, as she would fall asleep before finishing longer ones. “It is a moral tale,” she says. “And I hope it inspires children to think about the effects words have on each of us.” It was on a visit to her dad’s barbershop in 2001 that she got chatting to a publisher and, on reading her story, told her to get it published. She is working on a second book at present (2011) called The Adventures of Baby Amelia, which is about her granddaughter at three years old and how Amelia sees the world from her perspective.
