2026 CBI BOOK OF THE YEAR

FULL BOOK TITLE: The Adventures of Birdfrog: A Beautifully illustrated book of the in-between world of Birdfrog 

AUTHOR NAME: Robert Lodolce 

PUBLISHER NAME: Archway Publishing

Prepare to be entertained as you dive into the wildly imaginative and colorful world of Robert LoDolce’s alter ego, Birdfrog—a creation that walks the fine line between a children’s book and an edgy, offbeat adventure. Equal parts whimsical and unconventional, The Adventures of Birdfrog offers a playful yet slightly rebellious journey tha

Prepare to be entertained as you dive into the wildly imaginative and colorful world of Robert LoDolce’s alter ego, Birdfrog—a creation that walks the fine line between a children’s book and an edgy, offbeat adventure. Equal parts whimsical and unconventional, The Adventures of Birdfrog offers a playful yet slightly rebellious journey that appeals to readers of all ages.

LoDolce’s vivid imagination—fueled, as he humorously suggests, by an overindulgence in caffeine and waffles—brings this unique character to life through bold, expressive illustrations. While this is his second book, it marks his first foray into illustrated storytelling, following his earlier work, The Praying Atheist.

Raised on Long Island, where he still resides, LoDolce continues to create alongside his partner in crime, Debby, channeling his distinctive voice into a world that is as quirky as it is memorable.
