Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A gorgeously illustrated and inspiring picture book about confidently navigating "in-between" times and places in life. The perfect gift for grads of all ages and fans of I Wish You More and Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Sometimes you know just where you are going. Sometimes you don’t. Sometimes you find yourself in an in-between place. A place that is neither here nor there. A place where you can go up or down, left or right. So how do you know which way to go?

Poetic and reassuring, In-Between Places reminds us that sometimes we just need to take a leap to land exactly where we’re meant to be.
