Through the Crack is an auteur picturebook about a girl who notices a crack in the pavement on a sweltering summer day. When a sudden rainstorm fills it with water, her familiar surroundings begin to shift. In the reflections, the sky appears beneath her feet, turning her world upside down as an ordinary puddle becomes the threshold of an impossible journey.

Told through the interplay of lyrical text and atmospheric watercolor illustrations, the story unfolds through a carefully crafted rhythm of page turns. Rather than offering easy answers, the project creates space for contemplation. It quietly suggests that while the world itself may remain unchanged, the way we see—and inhabit—it can profoundly shift. This multi-layered crossover book is created for readers (6+), adolescents, and adults open to deep, visual storytelling.
