That’s correct. It’s an image from “The Runaway Bunny”. The story has the baby rabbit changing shape to get away from the mother, and the mother changing shape to attract/get the baby rabbit. It sounds a bit violent in description, but it’s not when you read it.
So for example the baby turns to a fish, and the mother starts fishing; or —- and this captures the spirit better —- the baby to a climber and the mother to a mountain.
