The Frog Who Wanted to Be a Singer par Linda Goss
This book is about a frog that wants to be a singer but many of his peers judge him for being different. It is a great book to explain how everyone has different talents and it is okay to be different. It can deliver a powerful message to elementary students.

From The Critics
Library Journal
"Jump up and say" is a phrase with roots in the black church. As a rule, the black storyteller usually "leaps out" at the audience and forces the listener to "wake up!" In this anthology of stories, poems, fables, and songs, editors Linda Goss (coauthor of Talk That Talk, LJ 12/89) and her playwright husband, Clay Goss, present a wide diversity of storytellers ranging from the famous (Zora Neale Hurston) to the not-so-famous (E.J. Stewart). There are memories about family and friends from Alice Walker, Malcolm X, and Langston Hughes and rhythm talk from Gwendolyn Brooks and Miles Davis. From others like Jackie Torrence, Mary Carter Smith, Charlotte Blake Alston, and Rex Ellis we get humorous tales and stories and poems of protest and change. The result is a mixed bag that will alternately put readers to sleep or keep them riveted and smiling, depending on the subject matter. Many of the pieces are tall tales stretched to the limit; a few are true, others are truly bizarre. Some are even nonsensical and boring. And why include children's stories? A marginal purchase for black history collections.-Ann Burns, "Library Journal"… (plus d'informations)
