Between Tick and Tock Synopsis
The second magical picture book from the author and illustrator of The Night Box.
High above the bustle of the city, are eyes that watch, and hands that know, it's time to pause the clock ... and for one tiny second between tick and tock, the city stops!
Liesel notices the things that everyone else is too busy to see. When she hears a stray whimper and watches a lonely boy on a roundabout, she decides it's time to pause the clock and lend a helping hand.
While the city freezes, Liesel quietly carries out little acts of kindness and breathes colour, life and happiness back into the city.
Louise and Ashling's debut picture book, The Night Box, has been nominated for the Kate Greenaway Award and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, the Teach Primary Book Awards and the Klaus Flugge Prize.
