My shadow is a troublemaker. He jumps in puddles and gets his clothes wet. He throws paper airplanes at the teacher and plays his food at dinnertime. Mommy and Daddy says he's bad and needs to be locked up. But when I went to live with Jasmine, she didn't think he was bad at all. In fact, she liked him. I'm happier when my shadow is free, but should I really risk letting him out Soft illustrations depict a child's perspective of coping in a less than ideal living situation. After being placed with a caretaker, he learns to trust, heal, and be able to be a child again.
