Metamorphosis is one of nature’s greatest marvels. From butterflies to axolotls, sea squirts to frogs, nearly three-quarters of animal species on Earth transform in ways both strange and beautiful. The Becoming series brings these magical transformations to life in poetic and charming picture books. Each book follows one creature on its journey of change, inviting young readers to marvel at nature’s wonders while exploring timeless questions about identity, growth, and what it means to become who we are.
