The story of Julie who had the shadow of a boy

by Christian Bruel, ill. by Anne Galland
Julie's parents are complaining so much that she is a tomboy, that one day her shadow becomes the one of the little male who caricatures all her moves. She finds this double amusing at first, until she starts doubting of her own identity. But how can you get rid of a shadow that is not even yours?
This title was first published in 1976 in France and had many foreign editions at the time. It had often been reprinted and was an important book for many readers. This new edition with a modern design but original text and illustrations proves how this story is still essential to children's literature.
