Smoot: A Rebellious Shadow

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sydney Smith. When an unexpected pop! unsticks Smoot the Shadow from his dull human, he uses the opportunity to have fun. Smoot's revelry inspires the town's other shadows and his now-shadowless boy, who rejoins his shadow to live a "vibrant" new life. Cuevas's poetic text is accompanied by Smith's masterful ink and watercolor illustrations. Visual shifts among full-page spreads, paneled layouts, spot art, and wordless scenes are seamless and full of impact.
