Product Details

Praise

“Vivid, water-spotted illustrations. . . .”— The New York Times
 
★ “An enticingly rich and thoughtful creation. . . . Tadpoles is a reassuring reminder that change can bring positive new developments and that parental love remains constant, even amid great upheaval.”BookPage, Starred Review

★ “[A] thoughtful stream-of-consciousness outing from James. . . . Multimedia art’s spattered, stroked textures convey the feel of pages left out in a storm in James’s portrait of transition, throughout which the setting and its fluctuating features prove quiet symbols of seasonal and personal transformation. . . .”Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“James’s mixed-media illustrations in gouache, acrylics, and collage show both the factual and emotional parts of the text.”—The Horn Book

“A tale of father-child bonding full of visual appeal. . . .”Kirkus Reviews

“Fun to read either alone or aloud. . . .”—Booklist
