About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are failing to meet the 'big' expectations of others or when they feel too small or timid for the roles they are expected to play. It is a perfect choice for the sensitive child who needs to know that their gentle nature is a gift, not a flaw. The story follows Gilbert, a very small and very polite ghost who is trying his best to find a place to haunt. While the bigger ghosts are loud and scary, Gilbert just wants somewhere cozy and safe. Through his journey, he learns that he does not have to be scary to be successful. It is a wonderful tool for normalizing anxiety and building self-confidence in preschoolers and early elementary students, showing them that there is a perfect 'fit' for everyone.
