Do you have a little friend who loves colorful pictures and easy to understand books?
Then this book is for you. My Shadow is a story about what happens throughout the day with your shadow. How it changes and why it may disappear sometimes.
This book is full of colorful pictures and charming illustrations, and easy to learn words for our littles of friends.
Highly recommend this book.

This is such a sweet book for the youngest set of 'readers.' With charming illustrations, the rhyming text gently explains the concept of shadows throughout a full day of fun activities. Nice choice for a preschool or library story time!
