Story: Life Cycle of the Frog
Summary: Frogs are amphibians. That means they live part of their life cycle in water and part on land. They're also super cute.
Use the story with simple words and beautiful pictures just to bring to mind what you already know about the frog lifecycle.
As you interact with the story together, pay attention to how it makes you feel. What do you notice and might want to talk about? What other, related things come to mind? High school bio, for example? Or just life in general. How does it all work? How did it come to be? It might make you think about science. Or you can just wonder at it all.

Featured story idea
West Side Story was an acclaimed and popular Broadway musical about an ill-fated and impossible love between Tony and Maria. This story is about a recording of the Broadway score in 1984, 25 years later. Bernstein records the songs with a new generation of performing artists, renown singers who learned to act in the opera rather than Broadway actors who learned to sing in the theater. It's a remarkable documentary that captures the dynamic between the maestro and these superstars.
Perhaps because Bernstein is conducting his own piece as an old man, music that he composed many years earlier as a much younger man, you can talk about aging in this context. What does it mean to return to a work from your youth?
