Frog and Toad have an indestructible friendship. In this sweetly written book that is ostensibly for children, but is wise and useful for adults, too, Frog and Toad weather the lessons of everyday life together. When Toad’s daily list of things to do gets swept away by the wind, it is Frog who races to retrieve it. When Toad’s bakes addictively tasty cookies, they work together to practice will power. When Frog humbly teaches Toad about gardening, plants flower at last. Super Adorable.
For 2 centuries, Americans have made stunning, utilitarian objects by hand. Each tells a story: about the person behind the work; about the cultural moment in which it was created; about the political mood, community, and cultural forces that gave rise to that design. Craft in America, the companion book to the PBS series of the same name, highlights the work of America's most interesting craft artisans past & present while also reflecting our nation's history and the remarkable people who passed on their traditions.
