Are You Afraid Of The Dark?



Children's book illustrator, Suzy Lee, has just released a new book through Chronicle Books! I mentioned Ms. Lee's Wave some months back in my 'Favorite Books' entry.

Her newest picture book, Shadow, is another beautifully drawn wordless story. It centers around a little girl in a dark attic well-equipped with her light bulb and imagination. On each page, the girl has a fun time playing with light and shadow.

The illustrations are full spreads with just two shades - black and yellow. The color choice is obvious and the result is simple, straightforward and stunning. Lee perfectly captures the innocence of a young girl content with her own creativity.

You can buy Suzy Lee's Shadow here.
