FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

POW! is pleased to announce the December 2013 release of

SHADOWVILLE

by Michael Bartalos

Where do shadows go at night? Young readers will find out when they take a trip to Shadowville. Shadowville is a delightfully quirky, highly graphic picture book that follows shadows to the secret, magical land they visit every evening when the sun goes down. There they are freed from their daytime jobs and come out to play, surf, dine, shop, and even travel from the Gobi to Nairobi!

Shadow planes and shadow cars
Bring them all from near and far.
Crossing oceans and a hill,
They all head toward Shadowville.

Originally published in 1995, this reissue showcases illustrator Michael Bartalos' retro, block-print style images and whimsical, rhyming text, promising to charm children and parents once again...this time with beautiful new endpapers and a striking new cover.
