In Between the Hurry

What if the best moments of childhood are hiding in the spaces between everything else?Milo's days are full of one familiar word: "Hurry!"Hurry to get dressed. Hurry to the store. Hurry into the car. And whenever Milo asks Dad to play, the answer seems to be, "Later."But little by little, Milo and Dad discover something important: play doesn't always need a special place, a new toy, or hours of free time.A deck of cards can become a building challenge. A walk can turn into a hunt for patterns and sounds. Grocery shopping can become a game of counting, noticing, wondering, and asking questions. Even cooking, laundry, waiting, and cardboard boxes can hold opportunities to imagine and connect.Soon, Dad begins to realize that life hasn't stopped being busy. They have simply learned to notice the little spaces in between the hurry.Warm, playful, and heartfelt, In Between the Hurry is a picture book about slowing down just enough to notice what is already there: curiosity, creativity, learning, conversation, and connection.A gentle reminder for children and grown-ups alike that meaningful play doesn't have to be planned.Sometimes, it's already waiting for us in the everyday.
