What is Toad Away about?

Limpy, a determined cane toad, is tired of seeing his family members become roadkill. Upon hearing of a place in the Amazon where humans and toads coexist peacefully, he embarks on a daring journey with his cousin Goliath. Their adventure takes them through perilous flights and into the heart of the jungle. However, the Amazon isn't the paradise Limpy envisioned. With guidance from local cane toads and a wise man, Limpy uncovers the true secret to harmonious living with humans.
