Adventures of Maya's Shadow: An Eva Gallo Book

When darkness falls, shadows come alive with wonder.

Join Maya as her shadow wakes up for the most magical adventure of all - while she sleeps. Through her beloved neighborhood, Maya's shadow explores the moonlit garden, chases clouds at the playground, converses with an ancient oak tree, and watches the ducks dream by the pond. But as the clock tower chimes midnight, the adventure must end, and Shadow journeys home to reunite with Maya at dawn. A tender, imaginative story about the magic hidden in familiar places and the special bond between a child and her shadow.

With warm amber tones for cozy home scenes and cool moonlit blues for nighttime adventure, this picture book captures the wonder of ordinary neighborhood magic. It invites young readers to imagine what their own shadows might do while they sleep - turning bedtime into a portal to imagination and mystery.

Perfect for: bedtime stories, children who love imagination and adventure, kids curious about shadows and nighttime, and anyone who believes in the magic of the everyday.

The Adventures of Maya's Shadow is the first book in the Eva Gallo Collection - multicultural picture books for ages 3 to 8 that begin in night and end in morning. A portion of proceeds supports the Sen Yakaar Foundation. Learn more at senyakaar.org.
