Hortense and the shadow
Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
A haunting, original fairy tale from two debut picture book talents, in the spirit of Neil Gaiman and Carson Ellis. Hortense is a kind and brave girl, but she is sad--even angry--that her shadow follows her everywhere she goes. She hates her shadow, and thinks her shadow must hate her too. But one cold, dark night, when bandits surprise her in the woods, Hortense discovers that her shadow is the very thing she needs most. This story stirs the soul with its compelling, subtle exploration of self-esteem, self-identity, and finding inner strength.
