NOTABLE BOOK: 2024 CBCA Book of the Year, Early Childhood

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 wonderful picture book about playfulness and the joy of light and movement.
