'I adore this picture book for its rich quirkiness that sets it apart from other picture books about emotion. This is not a story that hits you over the head with meaning. It’s a story to explore and ponder over, chat about with kids and uncover your own truth and meaning as you do.'
'Shadow and the Girl encourages us all to ponder if we can run our shadow and deep fears ... and if we really want to.'
'Most perfect example of a sophisticated text, with a dystopian dark feel.
Very moody.'
