Minnie May is afraid of her own Shadow, but Ziggy will help her through.
Minnie May has tried everything to escape her Shadow. It is in the water, under her bed, reaching from trees, and in the skyscrapers. It is only when she makes herself really small that she can find an escape. But Ziggy isnt afraid. His shadow is big. Ziggy shows Minnie May all the wonderful things that you can do with your shadow. It can tell time, it can make puppets, and it can even go flying through the air. Minnie May likes her shadow now. She doesnt want to hide from it anymore.
