Shadow Catchers
On sunshiny mornings, we go shadow catching. Inside, outside, in our home and in our neighbourhood, shadows dance around us from morning through to night. Our shadows are so tall, then small, then tall again in sunlight, lamplight and even in the moonlight. A delightful picture book that celebrates the playfulness of young children trying to catch their shadows.
