About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the absence of a friend, feeling lonely in a new environment, or curious about making connections with people who are different from them. This gentle story follows Shadow, who lives in the light, and a Ghost, who lives in the dark. Though they occupy the same space at different times, they begin a heartwarming friendship by leaving notes and gifts on a shared rock. It is a beautiful metaphor for the invisible threads that connect us to others even when we are physically apart. Parents will appreciate the way it validates feelings of longing while celebrating the creativity and patience required to build a deep bond. The bright mixed-media illustrations make the supernatural elements feel approachable and sweet, making it an ideal choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating transitions or long-distance relationships.
