Between day and night...

A cabbage moth and a cricket meet for the first time in the quiet 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 colours, 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.
