Why read it?
1 author picked The Shadow and the Ghost as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It’s a heartwarming book about how a friendship could cross any barrier. I love how Cat contrasted the world of Shinbi—the ghost, and Greem—the shadow. The dark, starry night and the colorful, greenish day.
I adore Cat Min’s watercolor artwork and how she handled the colors. The book is so beautiful and delightful!
From Lenny's list on The best picture books with creepy, cute ghosts.
