FROGS IN THE RICE FIELDS written and evocatively illustrated by Marc Sirinsky is an imaginative and empowering children's story of 2 young Balinese girls who like to play in the rice fields near their village in Bali and learn from the frogs that construction that is taking place there is endangering their habitat.  Filled with images of Balinese life and culture, the story follows the delightful tale of two girls who with the help of the animals on the island learn that they can make a difference.  The book is highly interactive and promotes creative solutions to ecological challenges that can be found, not only in Bali, but all over this planet.
