SHADOW CATCHERS

A delightful picture book that captures the joy of young children trying to catch their shadows from the creators of CBCA Honour Book winning When Billy Was a Dog and Puddle Hunters.

On the sunshiny days, we go shadow catching. First at home, then along the street to the café, and the playground and home again. Our shadows glide and weave beside us as we run and play, tall in the morning, quiet at rest, hidden at midday and stretching out again in the afternoons. A wonderful book about creative playfulness, time of day and following the path of the sun across the sky.
