Synopses & Reviews
A small boy describes his special friend. Sometimes his friend is short and fat and sometimes he's so tall he touches the treetops. His friend disappears at night but always returns, like a bit of "yesterday's night left behind for the day", with the morning sun. Who's this boy's special friend? He's his shadow! "The artist's transparent shadows gracefully stretch across her soft-edged watercolor paintings.... A perfect link to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic poem 'My Shadow.'" -- Booklist, starred review
