I read this to myself as a bedtime story on a day I was feeling blue. Like a literary hug.

I love these gay amphibians.  So much.  So, so much.  I think I can speak for most when I say that the Frog and Toad books bring back such memories, especially of elementary school, and how in light of events how CLEARLY Frog and Toad loved each other in ways much more tender and soft than just being friends.  The illustrations are just so sweet, and the stories are so simple yet so wonderful and evocative.  I'm so glad I reread this--it's affirmative and loving all in one.
