The In-Between Book

In The In-Between Book, authors Christopher Willard and Olivia Weisser invite children to mindfully interact with the book and with the world around them. Kids will trace the shapes between images on the page, feel the stillness between heartbeats, and focus on the space between breathing in and breathing out. As they slow down to connect with the spaces between things, they will learn powerful lessons about mindfulness, curiosity, and experiencing the world around them more fully.

Christopher Willard, PsyD, and Olivia Weisser, PhD, are a husband‑and‑wife creative team who live in the Boston area. Christopher is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and is considered a leading voice on youth mental health. Olivia is an associate professor of history at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where one of her areas of expertise is the history of health and healing.
