The Life of a Shadow, written by Brittany Marie Leonard, will encourage your child to face any challenge confidently. This magnificent father-daughter collaborative is bound to be a favourite for many children. If you would like to help your child develop a strong sense of self, and encourage them as they go on their own adventures, then I would encourage you to pick up this book!
It is often the dream of authors to use stories to mentor. If this is Leonard’s dream, it has been fulfilled. This story will help your child face grown-up issues, like loneliness and bullying, confidently.
The simple illustrations complement the story well. Additionally, the use of soft colours makes the story easy to read, especially at nighttime. I am particularly impressed with the pictorial glossary of shadow puppets, which was included at the back. They are fun and easy to try. Children will want to hang on to this book long after bedtime!
I would recommend this book to any reader. While it seems to be geared towards younger readers, I believe older children can appreciate this story since it deals with more advanced topics such as bullying and loneliness. After reading this book, children will become more self-confident and independent.
I am a professional editor, who understands how stories should work. I hope to contribute in meaningful ways to authors and the general reading community, so that good books can get into the hands of readers. You can find me at - edithint.com or follow me on Twitter at @edithint
