Shadow
By Suzy Lee
The Story
A little girl discovers the play of light and shadow in a dark attic, turning a single bulb's glow into a wordless adventure of shapes and imagination.
Why It's Special
For the kid who turns a flashlight beam or a shadow on the wall into an entire world, this is a book that plays along.
