"Kids will love trying to guess what the shadows really are and will be delighted when the authors out-silly them every time." Readings 

Sneaky Shadows uniquely showcases the limitless possibilities of shadow casting in a book of imaginative, absurd misdirection. Its humor, pace and timing will have young audiences on their toes with anticipation, as the bizarre scenarios of author SC Manchild unfold.

This is cheeky, laugh-out-loud fun that inspires repeated readings from children (and parents!) of all ages.

SC Manchild is the CEO of an international company, using a pen-name so that his governing board may not discover his penchant for funny picture books. He lives in Melbourne and his favourite part of the day is reading to his children at bedtime. Sneaky Shadows is his debut book.

Sam Caldwell is a children’s illustrator and designer based in Glasgow. He likes to draw characters and tell stories with pictures. He grew up in the north of England and studied painting at the Edinburgh College of Art.
