Who Stole Tierra’s Tadpole?

In this delightful rhyming tale by M,A,Yah, young readers will follow Tierra, a little girl “as pretty as a shiny pearl,” who spends her days swimming, baking cookies, and caring for her beloved tadpole named Jim. But when Jim suddenly disappears, Tierra’s world is turned upside down.

With the help of her friends, Dreadlock Jones and Bones, Tierra sets out to solve the mystery of her missing pet. She whistles, she searches, and she worries—until she learns an amazing lesson about nature, change, and the magic of growing up.
Through humor, rhythm, and colorful storytelling, children discover how tadpoles transform into frogs, and how sometimes, the friends we think we’ve lost are still with us—just in a new way. And in a sweet twist, Jim isn’t a “him” at all, but a “her,” leaving Tierra with a brand-new friend she names Pearl.

Perfect for bedtime reading, classrooms, and curious little minds, Who Stole Tierra’s Tadpole? mixes fun rhymes with science, friendship, and a touch of surprise. It’s not just a story about a girl and her pet—it’s a gentle introduction to life’s changes and the joy of discovery.
