ABOUT THE BOOK (from Amazon):
Deep in a lively pond, a curious little tadpole embarks on a quest to discover who he truly is. As he swims past darting fish, floating turtles, and hissing snakes, he wonders, "I’m not like them… but what am I?
Along the way, he learns what makes each pond creature unique—but none of them feel quite like him. Just when he begins to doubt he’ll ever find his place, he meets a wise bullfrog who just might have the answers he’s looking for.
Through his journey of self-discovery, he realizes that being himself isn’t about fitting in—it’s about embracing his own transformation.
With a heartfelt message of self-reflection and growth, The Tadpole’s Reflection reminds young readers that sometimes, the answers we seek are already within us.
Book includes access to classroom activities, self-reflection worksheets, and journal prompts to help young readers explore their own identities and personal growth.
Signed copies of the book will be for sale for $15.99. All guests who purchase a copy of the book will receive a signed piece of artwork from The Tadpole’s Reflection illustration collection.
