“Into the Shadows” is a children’s illustrated book that takes you into a dark and playful world. Each page you open is a unique character with their own story to tell. By showing a world in silhouettes, anyone can identify with these characters. One of the goals in making this book was to encourage children, (and adults) to face scary things and this book is meant to be a playful way to do so. Sometimes you have to look into the darkness to find the light. Much like Pixar movies, the stories and imagery should be engaging for all family members to enjoy!
