Reviews / Votes
"The close-up images are crisp and clear, the word choice is precise, and the poem flows smoothly-April Pulley Sayre has a well-deserved reputation for combining visuals and text to encourage a child's awe at the natural world, and this exemplary work is a shining example.... Wondrous and wonderful, for reading and thinking and sharing." -- Kirkus Reviews * 1/1/2023 * With a poetic text and sharp, uncluttered photographs, the Sayres examine transitions in the natural world- transitions from physical spaces as well as those between states of being.... Ideal for a group read-aloud, this book encourages discussion of personal "in betweens." -- Horn Book Magazine * 3/1/2023 * "Using succinct, poetic text and her signature close-up nature photography, Sayre explores awkward transitional moments experienced by all animals...this perceptive and reassuring offering will be welcomed by inbetweeners and the late Sayre's many fans." -- Booklist * 3/15/2023 *More details
