Between
A cabbage moth and a cricket meet for the first time in the space between twilight and dawn. As the unlikely pair discover each other’s worlds, friendship blooms in unexpected places.
From award-winning creator Anna Walker comes a poetic tale of connection and understanding. With Walker’s masterful illustrations in stunning spot colors, Between invites readers to explore what happens when we bridge the spaces that divide us.
A tale that will resonate with readers of all ages and spark conversations about empathy, friendship, and the beauty of reaching out to others.
“This book is poetry, texture, warmth and heaven all in one. The wording is sparse and definitive. Deliberate, yet expansive.
And the hand-rendered illustrations are extraordinary. Each page brings a new artistic sensibility. A limited colour palette and balance between tight and loose, spatter and stroke, softness and texture, definition and shadow, strength and vulnerability – all contribute to the wonder and delight of this book.
It is absolutely one to become lost in and pore over, whatever your age.
I can see it being the perfect gift for all. For a student setting off into the wider world, a grandparent creating space with less things and more time, a small child with their insatiable curiosity and love of wonder.
Quite simply, it’s sublime.”
