Shadow Catchers - by Kirsty Murray (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A delightful picture book that celebrates the joy of young children trying to catch their shadows

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.
