The Idea Behind the Story
Tom Sullivan got the idea for this book while working on another project. He was thinking about different animal groups. He thought about mammals, reptiles, and how some animals lay eggs. When he thought about frogs, he had a big idea. He wondered how a frog, which starts as a tadpole, would describe growing up. This thought led him to the title for I Used to be a Fish.
