Synopsis

Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic poem now vibrantly illustrated as a read-aloud picture book.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.

The poems in Robert Louis Stevenson’s collection, A Child’s Garden of Verses have been popular ever since the book’s first appearance more than one hundred years ago. None more so than “My Shadow,” a traditional favorite for reading aloud.

Illustrator Glenna Lang has created a visual narrative to accompany the poem as a young girl travels through a dream nightscape with her shadow companion. Beautifully true to the sense and spirit of Stevenson’s work, the illustrations add their own grace and rich atmosphere. The striking art style will captivate and delight readers of all ages.

This edition of My Shadow is a wonderful way to enjoy an old favorite bedtime poem with the youngest child.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) grew up in Edinburgh. Though his parents wanted him to be a lighthouse engineer and then a lawyer, he always knew he wanted to write. Many of his stories and poems have since become classics, such as Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. My Shadow is taken from the collection of poems A Child's Garden of Verses, which is based on memories of the poet's own childhood. Penny Dale is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including Wake Up, Mr B! (shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal); Ten in the Bed; Ten Out of Bed and Ten Play Hide and Seek. She has also illustrated several stories by the author Martin Waddell: Once There Were Giants, When the Teddy Bears Came, Rosie's Babies (shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal) and Night Night, Cuddly Bear. Penny says of My Shadow, "When I was a child, my favourite shadow was the long, thin, elastic one that came to copy me when the sun was low. This poem captures the curiosity and playfulness of childhood, and gave me an opportunity to play with shadows all over again." Penny lives in Wales with her family.
