From the acclaimed author of The Grand Hotel of Feelings, this fantastical adventure takes children on an journey of reflection and self-acceptance.

Lika has never given much thought to her shadow. Sometimes it's long, sometimes it's short... but it's never anything more than a shadow. That is until the day it starts acting strangely. When Lika waves a hand, Shadow raises a foot. When Lika sits down, Shadow stands up. Lika tries to hide, but the smaller she makes herself, the bigger Shadow becomes. When Shadow whisks Lika off to a curious land of shadows - and right into a spooky shadow circus - she must look deep inside herself to find her way back home.

A poignant and uplifting book about exploring and acknowledging the parts of ourselves that we try to hide from and embracing the shadows within.
