Tui and Stevie - the frog bog adventure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781763563568)

Tui and Stevie - the frog bog adventure is a heart-warming Australian children's story about friendship, curiosity, and caring for the natural world.

Set on Kaurna Country in South Australia, the story follows Tui, a curious Cavoodle, and Stevie, a wise swamp rat, as they observe the humans in their garden creating a frog bog. Through gentle conversations and close observation, Tui and Stevie discover how water, native plants, insects, birds, and frogs are all connected.

As the frog bog slowly comes to life, young readers meet beetles, dragonflies, butterflies - described as flowers with wings - and hear the return of frogs singing at dusk. The story encourages patience, kindness, and respect for Country, showing how small, thoughtful actions can support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.

Written in clear, engaging language and grounded in real conservation practices, this book is ideal for children, families, educators, and libraries. It includes a conversational fun-facts section and a teacher guide to support classroom and community learning.

This is a story about small actions, quiet observation, and how caring for one place can help many lives flourish.. .
