The Peeking shadow (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789769758407)

When a strange shadow begins to follow Minnie, she doesn't know how to feel, only that it whispers secrets no one else hears. At first, it feels like a friend. The shadow is quiet, clever, and always knows what to say. Soon, however, it grows bolder-bigger-and Minnie pulls away from the people she loves most.

She stops playing with her sisters. She won't talk to her teacher. She keeps her feelings tucked deep inside, unsure of what's real and what's safe.

With the help of her caring mom, a wise teacher, and the deep bond she shares with her sisters, Minnie must find the courage to speak up, trust her heart, and shine her light in the darkest moments. But will that be enough to silence the shadow once and for all?

The Peeking Shadow is a beautifully illustrated picture book that explores emotional manipulation, fear, and the quiet power of speaking your truth. Through a whimsical fantasy lens, it gently teaches children how to recognize uncomfortable feelings, ask for help, and believe in their voice.

This book is ideal for children ages 4-8 and makes a valuable addition to any home, school, or therapy library focused on emotional awareness and social-emotional growth.
