Shadow has always wanted a friend his own age with whom he can go on adventures. So when a boy, Arvin, moves in nearby, Shadow is overjoyed. However, on his way to introduce himself to his new best friend, he overhears someone say he and Arvin will never be friends because Shadow is white and Arvin is black. Set in rural Alabama in the 1940s, during the aftermath of the Great Depression, Shadow and Arvin is a story about friendship, empathy, and understanding, and it teaches children that we are all made from the same biscuit cutter.
