The Shadow and the Ghost

by Cat Min
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Shinbi is not a particularly ghosty ghost. At night she likes making tiny bouquets of things, and gazing at the far away stars. Haunting? Not so much. Even if that's what the other ghosts like.

In the daytime, in a meadow, sits a single rock, casting a single shadow, named Greem. He'd really like someone to talk to. But who? He writes one word on his lonely rock: "Hi" and hopes someone will see it. Sure enough, in the darkness of night, Shinbi finds the note! But who could have written it?

In a profound exploration of how friendship can break through barriers of time and circumstance, Cat Min introduces us to two unforgettable characters we'd all love to know.

P R A I S E

★ "Will leave viewers in awe. May the stars align for young readers to share this heartwarming picture book with their precious friends no matter how far apart they are."
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred)

"In this unique fable linking two worlds, their wonders aglow in rich color washes, author-illustrator Min uses inventive compositions and striking contrasts to illuminate this friendship defined—but not confined—by night and day."
—Booklist

"A friendship that transcends barriers of embodiment and time anchors this starry creation... a work of breathless connection that interweaves yearning for companionship with yearning to know the natural world."
—Publishers Weekly

"A joyful celebration of friendship, the stars, and finding one's self in this world and beyond."
—Kirkus

"What a stunning book! A clever and sweet story of finding a friend with gorgeous, whimsical illustrations."
