This book is utterly adorable! While this book was pretty simple, it still had an impact and succeeded in being a great book. I thought that this book subtly but nicely conveyed its central message: despite our differences, all of us still have our talents/purposes. I really liked the Halloween theme of this book, and it worked really well. Additionally, the illustrations were what I would call "creepy-cute". The illustrator used dark and gloomy colors, but made details so amazingly adorable. This juxtaposition worked beautifully throughout the entire book, and I really enjoyed seeing it.
All in all, this book was very well-done and I enjoyed reading it!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Riel Nason for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt coming out July 1, 2025. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I’ve heard about this book, so I was excited to receive it. I love ghost stories and I’ve made a few quilts. I’ve known people who have made a quilt based on this book. It was a really cute and sweet story. I think it’s perfect for people who love Halloween and sewing. I loved the illustrations. The writing was really good. The ending wasn’t what I was expecting, but I really enjoyed the book!

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys quilt books!

This is such a cute and unique book about being different.

I absolutely loved the illustrations and the use of colour. The patchwork on the end pages was also a lovely touch.

This is my favorite Halloween story, and honestly, one of my favorite pictures books too! I love the illustrations, they feel so classic and immersive. Such a heartwarming and lovely tale.

Loved this cutie book. The graphics were amazing. The format on my kindle was super weird 😐 wish it was easier to read

Oh, I am *too sensitive* for sweet, heartfelt stories like this one! 😭

Among his 'normal' ghostly friends, our adorable little quilt ghost is an outcast; everyone treats him differently because he doesn't look or effortlessly float the way they do. But one day, he accidentally gets close to humans and he realizes they're not so scary! When Halloween rolls around (his favorite day of the year), he attempts to join in the festivities — instead, he ends up being chosen to give a little girl some warmth and winds up at her house. Our courageous little ghost realizes that he was chosen because of his usefulness and unique style, and that he's special in his own amazing way.

This story and the illustrations are just unbearably cute, and what a wonderful, evergreen message to instill in children early on! Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is so flipping adorable <3 When the ghost couldn't float down the stairs like other ghosts because it was too heavy, it pulled at my heartstrings.
