Shadow: Marcia Brown

Shadow is an African tale about what a shadow is and how it came to be. It discusses how a shadow is everywhere at noon and nowhere to be found at nighttime. It talks about how a shadow is important and why it makes no noise. The images in this book are beautiful, and the colors are vibrant. The Shadow hides at night and can only see by light, which is very much how our shadows can only be seen in the daytime. I think that this book could be used in a classroom where students are talking about different times of day and you could also create artwork similar to that of the book to take the topic and lessons in a different route.
