When you're a quilt instead of a sheet, being a ghost is hard!(goodreads summary)
Being a quilt ghost has its challenges and in this story our sweet character learns that it is ok to be different and it might give you a special outcome you didn't expect. He doesn't know why he is a quilt ghost since his family and friends are sheet ghosts. It is hard for him to fly around because he is too heavy to lift off. The little quilt ghost feels sad and doesn't like being different. When his favorite holiday Halloween arrives, he plans on draping himself over a chair on a porch putting him right in the center of the action during trick-or-treat. But something unexpected happens that helps him embrace who he is .
This was a sweet story about the importance of being yourself and finding a place where you fit. The pencil illustrations are drawn in black and white but there were touches of color such as the blue hues of the patchwork quilt or bits of orange scattered on various pages adding subtle color. It is a cute read for the Halloween season. The story could also prompt discussion about feeling different and how to overcome such feelings. It offers a nice message about accepting who you are and that each one of us has a unique purpose. We just need to have the strength to find it and believe in it.
