Bookroo's summary

Boris the cat wakes up to a peculiar surprise: his shadow is that of a mouse! As he strolls through the neighborhood, other cats mock him, and even the birds ignore him. Determined to solve this mystery, Boris discovers that Vernon, a small mouse, has "borrowed" his shadow. Now, Boris must convince Vernon to return it, teaching his new friend that you don't have to be big to shine. Can Boris reclaim his shadow and show that true greatness comes from within?
