Praise for Shadow Play:
"Forsyth’s sensitive, insightful narrative combine with Street’s strong visual imagery to make Shadow Play an excellent choice to promote discussion around children’s anxiety and fears, and, as the title suggests, to ‘play’ with them, see them from different points of view, reframe them, and that, most importantly, you don’t have to do this alone." - Meg Rowe, StoryLinks
"A good metaphor for younger children aged 4-8 years fearing the unknown. ... Ziggy shows her a different way of playing and living with her shadow and suddenly a whole new world opens up for Minnie May. ... This is a positive, kind and understanding story to help kids with their fears." - School Days Magazine.com
"A celebration of the power of friendship and feelings shared." - Sandy Fussell, Daily Telegraph, Funday Book Worm
"The illustrations are emotive and really help to form part of this engaging story about self-acceptance." - inthegoodbooksblog, Instagram
