Critical Reviews
"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"
