Noah stepped outside into bright sun. He looked down at the sidewalk. His shadow was missing and strange on the ground.

---PAGE---

Noah blinked and looked again. The ground stayed empty and pale. He felt a small shiver in his chest.

---PAGE---

He checked the fence and tree. He waved his hands in light. No shadow followed his feet on the path.

---PAGE---

Noah asked his sister for help. She listened and pointed to the sky. A dark cloud moved in front of the sun.

---PAGE---

The cloud covered the bright sun. The light grew weak and thin. The sidewalk looked flat and gray for a while.

---PAGE---

The cloud slid to the side. A thin beam of light appeared. A small shadow crept back near his shoes.

---PAGE---

Noah waved his arms high. The shadow stretched long and wide. Noah laughed with relief and a smile.

---PAGE---

His sister nodded with a smile. She said the sun makes shadows. Clouds can hide them for a while during the day.

---PAGE---

The sun moved clear of clouds. The shadow grew strong again. Noah felt brave and calm inside his heart.

---PAGE---

Noah thanked his sister for help. He thanked the sun as well. The mystery felt solved at last for the day.

---PAGE---

They walked home along the path. Their shadows walked beside them. The sidewalk shone in warm light near their feet.

---PAGE---

Noah promised not to fear shadows. He knew the light would return. He felt ready for tomorrow and school too.
