Once known as the Poorest President in the World, his reputation is the stuff of myth: a former guerilla who was jailed for inciting revolution before becoming the face of justice, human rights, and selflessness within his nation. And yet, he is tempted to reveal a secret from his past: while he was imprisoned and held in solitary confinement-due to madness or in a surreal twist-he survived in part by conversing with the only creature who ever spoke back, a loud-mouth frog, about revolution, the quest for dignity, and what it means to love a country. As engrossing as it is innovative, The President and the Frog explores the resilience of the human spirit and what is possible when danger looms. Ferrying us between a grim jail cell and lush garden, De Robertis emphasizes that even the smallest voice can change the world. Vivid, heartfelt, and full of wit and humor, The President and the Frog reaches beyond all borders and dares us to be human in the face of chaos"-- provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Ex-presidents $z Latin America $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Political prisoners $z Latin America $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Frogs $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 10 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025241.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20230329011914.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909065010.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20211130012326.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210910010331.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210902014020.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210902012820.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210902011244.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210807010310.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210731010150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=912BF0D6F1C411EBBBAA127850ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
