About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels out of sync with their peers or frustrated by physical limitations. It is the perfect choice for the child who wonders why they cannot move as fast or act as boldly as those around them. The story follows a little ghost who is made of heavy, patterned quilt fabric while everyone else is a light, airy sheet. He struggles with feelings of inadequacy and isolation because he cannot soar or twirl like his friends. This gentle narrative uses a clever metaphor to explore self-acceptance and the discovery of unique strengths. Parents will appreciate how it validates the sadness of feeling different before moving into a heartwarming resolution. While it is a seasonal favorite for Halloween, the emotional core is relevant year-round for preschool and early elementary children. It offers a cozy, comforting way to discuss how our perceived weaknesses can actually be our greatest assets in the right moment.
