    The Children’s Book Review

    Goodnight Shadow is a poetic picture book that empowers kids to be brave and fearless, because dark and sometimes scary-looking shadows always come from a source of light. “Where there is light, there are shadows everywhere.”

    Our shadows represent everything we can’t see in ourselves, and it’s important to grow up knowing that we should embrace our shadows as guides and teachers. Engaging children and parents, this is the ultimate goodnight book.

      When I was a child and taking tap dancing lessons I learned a routine to the song “Me and My Shadow” – what a fun concept to interreact with your shadow all day !
