Description
Evening at the pond, and the reeds are humming. Fireflies drift above the water lilies while a chorus of frogs warms up for the night’s concert. On a mossy stone near the bank, one mother frog has no interest in singing for an audience. She holds her little one close and croaks very softly, the way mothers everywhere hum when the day is done.
This box captures that private lullaby: a mother frog lovingly cradling her baby, both painted in fresh greens with sweet, round eyes. It is a delightful nursery accent and a charming baby shower present, especially for parents who decorated with a pond or garden theme. It also wins the hearts of collectors who already have a whole shelf of hopping friends. Set on a windowsill above a garden, the pair seems to listen for the evening chorus outside the glass.
