Smoot the Shadow wanted more adventure and fun in his life than the human he's been partnered to! He breaks away and finds more adventure than he bargained for, inspiring other shadow beings to break away and do their own thing along the way. He eventually reunites with is boy and that boy leads a much more exciting and inspired life than ever before.

This was creative and fun. I bet it would be a blast to read out loud to young ones!

I am a bookseller and received a galley / uncorrected proof of this book. The book is due out September 2017.

What a wonderful book. The lovely illustrations by Sydney Smith beautifully highlight Michelle Cuevas well thought out perfectly paced words. A great story time story.

This book is fabulous!! The writing is descriptive, the illustrations are lively, and the storyline is charming. With a message about not being afraid to be yourself/step outside your comfort zone and give things a chance, this will be a fantastic read aloud for the classroom or library. I absolutely loved it!

Book provided by Penguin for review consideration.

Very cute. I could see reading this with the little kids I babysit and recommending it to parents.

If your shadow broke free, what would do? While on the surface a story about rebellious shadows, this gorgeous picture book also explores themes of being true to one's self and trying new things. For all ages.
