TEACHER-LIBRARIAN REVIEW:
​
"The Passing' is an intriguing picture book about change through the perspective of a field. Readers are introduced to ideas concerning urban development, looking after nature and the effects of war on the environment. A thoughtful story with interesting pictures will leave readers mulling over the messages in this story.”

TEACHER REVIEW:
​
"The Passing tells a tale from a unique perspective. It personifies a field as it follows the fickle tides of time, and ebbs and flows of life. Through great sacrifice to an abundance of joy, The Passing illustrates beautifully the extent of the human condition by its connection to nature and the cycle of existence."
