About this listen

Where is theirs?

And where is mine?

To hurt a shadow

Is surely a crime

When Etta steps on Baawaa’s (her sister's) shadow, she learns of the Shadow Taboo, and learns to value the personal space of others, as well as her own.

Critic reviews

'This story has a moral that clever young ones will be able to extrapolate: other people’s bodies, belongings and space ought to be respected. This would be an excellent resource excellent for teachers and parents who are still having to remind kids to “stay in the lane” (that might be a direct quote from me.) It is laying the foundation for more serious conversations about the way adults are expected to treat each other, in person and online.' (Reading Time)
