Description: A picture book by Suzy Lee, winner of the 2003 Most Beautiful Swiss Book Award, the 2022 Bologna Ragazzi Award, and the 2022 Hans Christian Andersen Award! Come join the world of shadows! Shadow Play is by Suzy Lee, who was named Illustrator of the Year at the 2002 Bologna Children's Book Fair. This book completes the author's 'Border Trilogy,' following Wave and Mirror, both of which received gold medals at the American Illustration Society's Original Art exhibition in 2008. This picture book invites readers into an exciting shadow-play adventure that moves fluidly between reality and fantasy. Drawn with charcoal outlines and a dynamic spray technique using only white, yellow, and black, the illustrations carry the story forward with striking energy and speed—entirely without words. It encourages children to use shadows themselves to imagine, create, and play in wonderfully inventive ways. Rich with charm, this book delights not only children but adults as well. A Word from Our Book Sommelier! This picture book isn't meant to be read from left to right, but rather turned from bottom to top. The upper pages show the real world, while the lower pages show the world of shadows—the edge of each page marking the boundary between the two. A spirited little girl walks in eating an apple and turns on the light in a dark storage room, cluttered with a bicycle, vacuum cleaner, broom, ladder, and boxes. She sets her apple down on a box and begins playing with shadows. At first, the shadow world simply mirrors her actions in the real world. But as the story progresses, the line between the real world and the shadow world begins to blur, drawing children in with irresistible charm—ultimately bringing the two worlds together in perfect harmony.
