Beyond the Pond is an illustrated story book for children of all ages. It is an organic representation of the evolution of consciousness, written in prose so it is fun to read repeatedly. It was written partly in response to being asked as an uncle to reread certain "boring" children's books without any redeeming messages. This story about polliwogs becoming frogs is a lesson for the youth and a reminder for adults that we are all continually evolving. The illustrations help tell the tale for younger children, as the language encourages an increased and creative vocabulary.
