I’m Just a Little Guy

About the Book

Are you too small, too sleepy, and too silly to meet the demands of modern life? Paul Bog the Small Frog is here to help in this adorably illustrated gift book!

Meet Paul Bog. He’s just a little guy. He likes to frolic through the meadow, collect trinkets, and sunbathe in the nude. You should be more like Paul. Within these pages, Paul Bog walks you through a day in his life and shares advice on how to navigate modern existence, including:

• Avoiding Burnout: “For every hour of work I do, I spend three hours staring at a still life painting.”
• Saving Money: “I cannot save money for the future. The future is too unknowable. I can, however, toss a little coin into a nearby wishing well and hope for the best.”
• Anxiety: “My only advice for limiting anxiety is to spend fifty to ninety percent of your life supine near a large body of water.”
• Friendship: “Friends are creatures you’d share a baguette with. I cannot go more than a week without paying a visit to a friend or I will start to howl at the moon.”

This hilarious and charming guide, fully illustrated in ink and watercolor, will inspire anyone who wants to slow down and muck around.
