Theme: Shadows are always formed in the presence of light and may be functional as well as entertaining. This is an illustrated version of the poem in which a child describes her relationship with her shadow. The episode examines the interplay of light and shadows-- how they work, where they come from, and how they create such beautiful imagery together. LeVar shows how light and shadow can be used to tell the time, meets a shadow artist who creates shadow puppets and visits a photographer who tells about her work.
