An Indigenous child discovers her heritage in this story about the power of our ancestors and the way they guide and shapes us, even when we don't know it yet. Willa has always had two shadows. One at her feet and another that's been quietly beside her since the night of her birth. Always just out of reach. Until Mom and Willa take a trip to Diligwa, a replica of an ancient Cherokee village. And it's here among wattle and daub houses and brown hands crafting, Willa realizes that Spirit is her ancestors, beckoning her to claim her Cherokee heritage. For Willa to join a Nation over 400,000 strong. Beautifully told, Spirit Shadow is a powerful tale about reclaiming culture and finding your way home. Lovingly illustrated by debut illustrator Mary Lupton, each spread is a feast for the eyes. Filled with nods to Cherokee beadwork and weaving as well as Cherokee syllabary, Willa's story is suffused with love and tenderness. The book ends with a moving conclusion for children everywhere to embrace their own ancestors. Back matter includes a note about Diligwa and the Cherokee Nation.
