Litoria and her Wetland Friends
Litoria isn’t just any frog - she’s a rare Growling Grass Frog, who shares her home with turtles, fish, and other wetland friends.
But when rubbish piles up and machines move in, her home is in danger - and she needs our help!
Join Litoria on a fun, rhyming adventure and discover how even small actions can make a big difference.
A delightful and engaging story that inspires children to care for and protect the environment.

Creating Litoria and her Wetland Friends
Teisha Sloane-Lay is the author of Litoria and her Wetland Friends. As a zoologist, wildlife ecologist and Forest and Wildlife Officer, Teisha is passionate about environmental education and awareness.
Teisha and I met through our love of amphibians and reptiles, at an Australian Society of Herpetologists conference. We had both worked on Growling Grass Frogs previously, a vulnerable frog found across south-eastern Australia. We combined our talents to bring the wonderful world of Litoria and her Wetland Friends to life, and hope it sparks children’s curiosity and love for our natural world!
