Tale of the Runaway Shadow Completed

A collaboration with my son Blake as illustrator is published on lulu. We are submitting for wider distribution availability currently.

It is story time with our Great Grandma.  We love to listen to tales from her childhood.  Unusual things must have always happened in her little town surrounded by bayou swamps and thick forests.   

This one is a favorite about the young boy who lost his shadow.  It seems his shadow ran away in search of a more exciting life.

What will happen to a shadow that takes off on its own into the wild forests?  How would a boy looking quite strange without his shadow get one back?  Who would know the magic to set things right again?  How will this adventure end this time? What is your shadow doing when you’re not looking? 

Among others you will get to meet Priscilla Barbilla along the way in this tale.

A Story Discussion Guide is provided on this website here.
