Surprising Silhouettes

Author: Connie Tamaddon

In this delightful and entertaining book for young children, photographer Connie Tamaddon uses the properties of light and shadow to create a clever read-out-loud guessing game that illustrates that not everything is as it first seems. Using unusual materials to fashion seemingly familiar shapes, Tamaddon creates an imaginative way to entertain – and enlighten – readers young and old, and provides a playful yet serious opportunity for parents and children to discuss the dangers of prejudging objects and people.

Reviews

  • "Connie reminds us to slow down and look closely at our world, that we make mistakes when we judge too quickly. It is in the moments of pause and reflection that we see detail and nuance. She reminds us that shapes we see in the dark change when we bring them to light. Whether objects or fears or misunderstandings, we only see things clearly when there's light."

    - Laurene Powell Jobs, founder of College Track, 2010-05-11
