In dramatic, close-up color photos, animals are shown “in between,” from coming out of a chrysalis to being half asleep, demonstrating that the title can have various meanings. The poetic text rhymes, and has an ethereal quality: “Paws may pause. Eyes may stare. But creatures lean in. Breathe. Prepare.” This will be useful to begin lessons on the metamorphosis process or how animals grow and learn in general. The photographs are outstanding examples of nature photography at its best.
