Frida the Rock-and-Roll Moth

Publisher: Ladybird

Frida the rock-and-roll moth has her own, unique style: she wears pointy black boots, plays a purple guitar and enjoys very LOUD music. Whenever the big bright light appears, all the musical moths gather together to sing, dance and rock the night away. Frida is excited to join them, but as she flies closer, she is overwhelmed by self-doubt. Deciding she must be more like the other moths, Frida switches her outfit, changes her songs and even replaces her purple guitar.  

However, trying to be someone else makes her feel even more insecure and nothing feels right when she starts to play her music. Thankfully, Auntie Edna is on hand to offer love and support, encouraging Frida to find the confidence to be herself.   

The full-page, dynamic illustrations are full of quirky details for young children to explore, from Frida’s stylish bedroom to the imaginative array of colourful costumes worn by the music-loving moths. This fun, upbeat picture book demonstrates the importance of being true to yourself and having the confidence to shine.
