Written and Illustrated by Lulu Delacre
A positive message about being yourself is conveyed through words and beautiful pictures in this short book. It really is a fable, it would be great to use for older students as a prompt for thinking and writing. It also has an important message about bullying. Luci was born without a shadow. Sometimes children tease her and make her cry. Then she discovers that maybe she doesn’t need a shadow anyway.
