The Tadpole Who Tried

📖 Description 

"I am brave enough to take a big step!" 

Meet Tod, a tiny, happy-go-lucky tadpole living in a splashy puddle who loves zooming through the clear blue water, swimming past green reeds, and showing off his long, swishy tail. But when Tod wakes up to a big surprise—his tail is shrinking and two bumpy new legs are starting to grow—his friends are already out hopping on shiny green lily pads, and Tod feels terrified to leave the safety of the water because he doesn't know how to jump!

Feeling shy and unsure at first, Tod receives a gentle visit from a wise old dragonfly named Barnald, who reminds him that everyone wobbles when they try something new. Taking a deep breath and a little leap of faith, Tod discovers his strong new frog legs, lands safely on a big lily pad, and realizes that growing up and changing is an exciting adventure!

The Tadpole Who Tried is a heartwarming, gentle picture book designed specifically for children ages 4 to 6.
