In One Glance
Frogs undergo metamorphosis. Eggs hatch into tadpoles that live in water, use gills, and swim with tails. Over time, tadpoles grow back legs and then front legs, develop lungs for breathing air, and absorb their tails. The change is gradual and is guided by body signals as the frog prepares for life on land and in water. The story presents metamorphosis as a calm, hopeful example of growth.
