Tad is tiny. She is the smallest almost-a-frog in the whole wide pond! She is even smaller than all of her tad brothers and tad sisters. As they are rushing through the shallow waters together, she has to wiggle her tail twice as hard to keep up.
As the days go by, the tadpoles grow back legs, and then front legs, and one by one they loose their tails. At night, when they’re carefully hiding for the scary and dangerous Big Blub, Tad likes to count all of her brother and sisters.
But suddenly it appears that there are less and less tadpoles to play with… Until Tad is the only one left. Alone in the dark, with Big Blub.
‘Tad‘ by Benji Davies is a very very sweet, and delightfully simple but strong story. It’s about being small, growing up, and being brave. Sometimes tiny hearts have the biggest dreams — and take the biggest leap of all… It’s beautifully illustrated as well! (Available from all good bookstores as well as Amazon.)
