(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nora Hilb. One day Jake rescues a girl's cat from a tree, then discovers that his hitherto companionlike shadow has stayed on the ground--proof that he's finally ready for a real friend. The delicate images depicting Jake on the outskirts of kid clusters will inspire empathy, but the text is purposive without being convincing.
