The Frog, the famous hero of Kenneth Grahame's classic tale "The Wind in the Willows," is on the brink of depression, and his loyal friends, the Rat, the Mole, and the Badger, fear he may do something crazy...

After pampering him, comforting him, and advising him to pull himself together, they suggest he start therapy! Through the cheerful dialogues that make up the ten sessions with his therapist, the Frog learns to analyze his feelings and develop his emotional intelligence.

In this educational journey, he encounters the "rebellious child" and the "adult" hidden within him, while, self-assured and confident as always, he ultimately decides to dedicate himself to an entirely new venture...

Bringing beloved characters back to life and continuing the story in the Riversides, Robert de Board skillfully weaves the tale of the Frog with the complex mental processes of the therapeutic science, as well as the ways in which counseling therapy addresses mental exhaustion.

The clarity of the narrative - a distillation of truths - is remarkable and the reading of the book is delightful for both teenagers and adults of all ages.
