The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise

By Riel Nason

When you're a quilt instead of a sheet, being a ghost is hard But it does mean you can float around in cold weather . . . an adorable picture book about a ghost who wants to share the magic of the season with his chilly sheet friends.

The little ghost quilt loves being out in the cold. For once, he doesn't overheat, and he likes how the snowflakes make his patches look polka-dotted. His friends, who are sheets, get too cold in the winter weather and have to stay inside, but the little ghost quilt doesn't mind. He enjoys slowly drifting along on his own.

On one of his frosty flights, he sees something happening in the town. People are putting up warm, twinkling lights, and there's a fun festive feeling everywhere -- like Halloween, his favorite season, but with snowmen and wreaths and candles in windows instead of pumpkins. He is filled with excitement and happiness looking at all the beautiful decorations and joyous people, yet he can't help but feel sad that his friends can't be there.

But then, after almost getting caught in a blizzard, the little ghost quilt is struck by inspiration . . .

Charming

This is a nice wintry story highlighting the joys of friendship, working together on a project, and doing nice things for each other. Beautiful story! The illustrations Byron Eggenschwiler are simple, imaginative, FUN, and show just what is happening using brilliant colors against a more bland background. Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age, including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, waiting room, or your local public library! I requested and received a temporary uncorrected digital Galley on Thorium PDF from Tundra Book Group | Tundra Books via NetGalley.
