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.

"Very cute and beautifully drawn I just wish the ending would have been more fulfilling. And if you are a crafty person it will be very hard not to make your own little quilt ghost."

"This is an adorable short story with amazing art. The story itself is about the complexities that kids have to go through, especially when they’re different. I wouldn’t say that there’s bullying necessarily, but more about how even a small reaction from a friend or peer or family member can make anyone, especially kids, feel put down. Even if that wasn’t the intention. It highlights how being different usually feels like such a negative when you’re younger until that moment that you realize that being different makes you unique and so much cooler than being like everyone else.<br/><br/>The art in this was so detailed. I went through reading along and then took another look through of just paying attention to the artwork. I really enjoyed the message and the theme. Halloween is my favorite holiday and the season that I have the best memories of. This made me feel like I was going down memory lane of my own Halloween nights from my childhood.<br/><br/>Thank you NetGalley and Tundra Books for the ARC."
