This relatable book is beautifully illustrated and teaches a great lesson. Henrietta learned that her friends and parents are going to love her regardless of what her little quirks are! It surely does take bravery to admit when you are different than the societal norms but this that matter wont mind and those that mind don’t matter. It’s very well written and obvious the author put a lot of work into this.

Adorable! A very cute story about a vegetarian frog who was afraid about what others would think of her if they discovered her secret. With a simple but cogent message for children: Be true to yourself and you’ll be greeted with acceptance and unconditional love from those who love you most. The illustrations support the story so well too. The colorful artwork does a great job bringing the characters to life while showing their heartfelt emotions.

*Spoiler alert*
Wonderfully creative story! It features a frog who's secretly a vegetarian and enjoy salad instead of flies, and her friends and family embrace her unique diet. I think it’s a great book that encourages kids to accept who they are and know that people who love them will always love them as they are!

Beautiful Story of Self Acceptance
This is a beautiful book with bright and crisp illustrations about self acceptance, and the love of family and friends. As a pescatarian, I also love that the main character, a very sophisticated frog, is a vegetarian.

very good
A story about a vegetarian frog who wants to tell all the frog friends and family but is worried that they won’t accept her. I think it’s a great story that represents individuality and the importance of being honest. Cute illustrations and is rather funny too.

Henrietta Comes Clean!
I felt so relieved when Henrietta was able to live her truth. This is a great read for children who may not like to eat meat like everyone else. We thoroughly enjoyed the rhyming, alliterations, and play on words for the names scattered throughout.
