About This Book

When you're a quilt instead of a sheet, being a ghost is hard! An adorable picture book for fans of Stumpkin and How to Make Friends with a Ghost . Ghosts are supposed to be sheets, light as air and able to whirl and twirl and float and soar.

But the little ghost who is a quilt can't whirl or twirl at all, and when he flies, he gets very hot. He doesn't know why he's a quilt. His parents are both sheets, and so are all of his friends.

(His great-grandmother was a lace curtain, but that doesn't really help cheer him up.) He feels sad and left out when his friends are zooming around and he can't keep up. But one Halloween, everything changes. The little ghost who was a quilt has an experience that no other ghost could have, an experience that only happens because he's a quilt .

. . and he realizes that it's OK to be different.

Introduction

In the charming and whimsical world of 'The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt', there lives a unique little ghost who isn't like the others. While his fellow ghosts are light and airy sheets, he is made of a colorful quilt, a distinction that makes him feel awkward and out of place. This enchanting story takes readers on a delightful journey as the little ghost learns to embrace his uniqueness, ultimately discovering that being different is actually something wonderful.

Key Takeaways

Embracing individuality can lead to discovering hidden strengths and joys in oneself. Understanding and accepting differences builds confidence and fosters positive self-esteem. Being unique can turn perceived challenges into opportunities for growth and happiness.

Detailed Description

In a world where every ghost drifts effortlessly as a light sheet, the little ghost stands out as he is made of a quilt. His patchwork of colors and weight make him feel clumsy and self-conscious, overshadowed by the seemingly perfect ghostly standards around him. As Halloween approaches, his desire to fit in intensifies, longing to effortlessly float like the other ghosts.

The little ghost embarks on a heartfelt journey to cope with his unique existence. He stumbles upon a series of adventures that challenge his perceptions and encourage him to appreciate who he is. Through poignant and often humorous encounters, this tale reveals the beauty in individuality and the courage it takes to accept oneself.

Amidst his exploration, the little ghost learns that being different is not a setback but an asset. As the vibrant quilt that defines him begins to symbolize warmth and love, he finds that the very thing he had wished away becomes the source of newfound happiness and inspiration. Ultimately, 'The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt' is a soothing tale adorned with beautiful illustrations that captures the hearts of readers young and old.

We love Halloween books in our house. Lately seasonal books seem to be just a cash grab that are not well written. This book however is not that at all. My kids want to read this one over and over again. My wife and I enjoy it very much as well. Not only has a great message but it is adorable and a great read.
