Description
A grumpy little ghost makes a new friend in this wryly funny, spooky-but-cute picture book with striking illustrations reminiscent of Brian Selznick.
A little ghost lives in the attic of a big house. All alone: just how he likes it. Until one day a curious girl disturbs his peace and quiet. Why won't the annoying and slightly scary child go away? So he decides to do what ghosts do best...
Shy little ones will smile at the antics of the grumpy ghost in this charmingly offbeat story about being brave, adapting to change, and having the courage to open up to others. Perfect for spooky season and beyond!
Advance Praise
'An instant story time classic. It has all the hallmarks of a great group read.'--BookPage, Starred Review
'The little ghost's depiction is particularly delightful... Nothing to boo here, and much to enjoy.'--Kirkus Reviews
'A bravely curious child's persistence helps a solitary spirit find connection in Shiotani's softly told story about overcoming fear. Meticulous hand-drawn illustrations stick to a palette of grays, with spot pastel coloring suggesting the gradual brightening of the shade's mood and world.'-- Publishers Weekly
