Booklist - 04/01/2024 Shinbi the ghost is happy making tiny bouquets, but she’s still lonely as she wanders the sky, contemplating the constellations. Her wish upon a falling star is granted when a friendly greeting appears on her rocky perch—and so begins a cheerful correspondence between this night-dwelling ghost and the rock’s cast shadow, who appears only when the sun hits the meadow. Shinbi and Greem share gifts, games, and a fascination for constellations, but, separated by night and day, the friends still yearn to meet face to face. Greem’s craft in conjuring the magic of a shooting star miraculously yields a riot of brilliantly colored stars that streams across the night sky, illuminating both shadow and ghost. The friends revel in being revealed to each other, a special moment to savor until the next time their beloved stars come out on parade. In this unique fable linking two worlds, their wonders aglow in rich color washes, author-illustrator Min uses inventive compositions and striking contrasts to illuminate this friendship defined—but not confined—by night and day. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
