With minimal prose and joyful illustrations, acclaimed artist and author Jorey Hurley tells the story of a year in the life of a frog family.

From tadpole to froglet to frog, there is more to a frog’s life that can be clearly seen. Filled with stunning illustrations and only one word on each spread, Jorey Hurley’s vibrant picture book tells the story of a day in the life of a frog family, above and below the pond.

Jorey Hurley studied art history at Princeton, received her law degree at Stanford, and studied design at FIT.
