description: A brave shadow finds a more colorful life in this joyous picture book by the acclaimed author of The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles and illustrator of Sidewalk Flowers.Smoot the shadow has been living a yawn-filled life for years. His boy never laughs and never leaps so Smoot never does either... until the day he pops free and decides to hit the road in search of the life he dreams about. And as he enjoys his first colorful day singing dancing and playing other shadows watch him and they become brave too. The frog's shadow takes the shape of a prince and the dragonfly's shadow that of a dragon. Even the rock's shadow gets in on the excitement. But what will become of the timid beings their shadows have left behind? Will they finally be inspired to find their own daring?
