This is the sweet story of a little boy adopted by a family of red-eyed tree frogs. Mama and Papa Tree Frog, Flossie, and Baby Franklin are his adorable tree frog family. Though Henry knows he is loved, he feels out of place. He doesn't enjoy the same games or food as his tree frog family. Papa Tree Frog has to build him a special level on their tree house, as Henry doesn't climb as well as the others. The only thing that Henry does expertly is kicking a ball into the air.

One day Mama Tree Frog leaves Henry in charge of Franklin while she takes Flossie on an errand. Henry becomes distracted, and in an instant a big old owl has grabbed Franklin and is flying away.

How Henry saves Franklin's life and becomes a hero is exciting and inspiring. Through the experience he learns that he truly does belong to his family, and that no matter what their differences, what makes a family is love.
