Book Launch Party for 101 Wallace Students

Thursday, June 21, the art teacher Ms. Lynn Fusco​ at the Wallace Elementary School in Hoboken, New Jersey organized a book launch party!

We had two amazing cupcake cakes with the book cover printed on the top, bouquet of flowers and the tables were decorated with frog art too!

Most of the children were there as we celebrated the publication of their black and white drawings in 101 Wallace School Frogs – A Frogs Are Green Coloring Book!

If you purchase the book on Amazon Smile and select the Wallace PTO as your charity, they get a percentage of the sales. Win-win!

Here are a few photos from our party!

City of Water Day in Hoboken

Yesterday was the City of Water Day all around New York and Hoboken, New Jersey. Frogs Are Green was invited to participate so we could share our educational materials and inspire children to draw frogs. (Frogs love water, you know.)

As you can see from this little gallery, we had children visit our tent all day and we watched people go out in kayaks, enjoying the water on such a hot day.

Across from us in the other tents, we saw face-painting and other creative activities for kids One was the Celebrate Life Studio who also encouraged children and adults to dance. Next to us the Hudson County Improvement Authority gave away coloring books along with crayons made from soybeans and other recycled items, such as reusable bags.

We want to thank the Waterfront Alliance for a well-organized event full of bonuses, like giving us free lunch, plenty of water and thanks, Ben & Jerry’s, for the free ice cream too!
