This was such a cute book. I read to my son and we both loved it. Great message about being different and how that’s ok. Will definitely purchase my own copy.

This heartwarming story is perfect to help children (and adults who may forget) learn (or remember) that their differences have positives even though they may not yet understand how

I am a major quilt lover/collector so when I saw this book, I knew that I had to read it. This was a sweet story about how being different can let you experience new things in life that you wouldn’t get to experience if you were the same. And how being brave and going outside of your comfort zone can pay off. Plus the illustrations are beautiful and moody enough for Halloween, but not so dark that they are scary. I don’t even have kids and I want this book for my collection.

This sweet little book was very well liked by my daughter (5). She was very attentive to the story and drawn in by the pictures. When the little ghost got sad, she started to get sad. As Halloween is her favourite holiday, it made this book even better for her. She was surprised that the ghost could lay flat, and was worried he got hurt a couple of times. We talked about being different and how that makes us special. For my part, this book was very fun to read, and the illustrations were beautiful. As a crafter, I appreciated the inclusion of a quilted ghost and the ways he eventually used that to his advantage. The meaning behind the book was lovely and is definitely one that we will be reading again. We are looking forward to reading the second book. I read this digital book through NetGalley but I will be buying a hard copy to add to our bookshelf.

Great for kids that love Halloween! Super cute little ghost and with the message that being different is a good thing.

This story was so cute and sweet! My toddler is obsessed with all things ghost and “spooky” right now so this was a perfect read for her. It was a good length without too many words on the pages in order to maintain her interest. Perfect for ages 2-5 I’d say! I especially loved the message that it was good for him to be different, and that he actually ended up having a good night because he was different from his friends.

This book was so stinking cute! It was such a lovely story about a little ghost who thinks he's too different to fit in! The little ghost can't fly as well as the other ghosts, because he's a quilt instead of a sheet, so he's heavier. Such a charming story about embracing your own uniqueness! The illustrations in this book were amazing and so cute! The story is simple, but impactful and I've never read something quite like it!

I read this last year (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3539850242), and it was a delight coming back to this short, sweet story again.

A young ghost is a little sad because he's a quilt, instead of a sheet. This sets him apart, and makes him feel sad, and left out of ghost activities, like flying through the air, hiding in plain sight, and other things, too.

On a Halloween night, he gets a chance to help a little girl, and finally feels useful, and this transforms his perception of himself.

This is a sweet story with an adorable main character. I loved the designs on each little square of his quilt, and his small but meaningful journey he goes on that changes his outlook and enables him to connect with other ghosts.

The story is charming, as are the illustrations. Mostly monochromatic, except for the ghost, the sepia-toned artwork forms a great backdrop to the initially isolated ghost watching the life around him, and also is great at hinting at the spookiness of a tale about a ghost. I enjoyed this story all over again, and look forward to more adventures for the ghost who is a quilt.

Thank you to Netgalley and to Tundra Book Group for this ARC in exchange for my review.

Such a lovely story about not quite fitting in or being a little bit different in a way that makes things a challenge. This book was beautifully illustrated and had such a well-structured message that it would be hard to find anything to complain about. Little Ghost starts the book sad and lonely, watching as everyone does things that he just can't because his quilt is just so heavy. And then he had an adventure that no one else has ever had, and it makes his difference into a positive, something that results in Little Ghost having a story to tell all his friends. I loved that his adventure also involved caring and helping others.

All in all, this book has such a great message and is a lovely bedtime read for a toddler and early reader.

This was so sweet, adorable, and charming... Like a warm quilt for your heart. A lovely story about being proud of who you are, even - especially - when you're different from anyone around you. Sweet story with wonderful illustrations.

Not me requesting a children’s book arc at the age of 29. But seriously the cover and title were just so cute I couldn’t resist

I adored this sweet picture book about a ghost who's a little different. In the end, it's those differences that lead him on an incredible adventure. The book is full of gorgeous illustrations that bring the story to life. Definitely a great one to share with little ones.

A delightful Halloween tale! This charming ghost discovers his uniqueness and learns to embrace it in the sweetest way. Plus, the illustrations are fabulous!!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

Very beautiful book about being different than everyone around you. A little repetitive but the art makes it a nice journey.

This is such a beautiful story to read all through the year, a wonderful reminder for kids that even if they feel different from everyone else, they're still important and beautiful. I look forward to recommending this to my library families!

What a sweet cozy story! I will definitely be gifting this to the spooky cute book lovers in my life when it comes out in the gift edition.

Thank you NetGalley, Tundra books, and Riel Nason for the digital copy of The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt - Gift Edition.

The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt is the story of a ghost who was a quilt and felt different from the ghost that are sheets. Being a quilt ghost comes with its own difficulties, but when an unexpected event happens, the quilt ghost feels lucky to be themselves.

The illustrations are beautiful and engaging to young readers. The story can be used as a great tool to teach to love yourself, how to treat others, and overcoming fear.

Little Ghost is sad. Instead of being made of a sheet like all the other ghosts he knows, he is made of a quilt. This keeps him from being able to do some of this things the other ghosts can. That's until one Halloween, where an unexpected event takes him on an adventure he never imagined, all because he happens to be a quilt! The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt is a sweet Halloween season book about how our differences make us special and learning how to embrace these differences within ourselves. The illustrations are beautiful and help to clearly show what is happening in the story. This is definitely a book I'll put in our spooky season rotation!

Thanks to Tundra Book Group and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

"The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt" is a charming, heartfelt story that illustrates for kids the value in differences. A little ghost struggles with feelings of being different and strange because he is made of a quilt rather than a regular white sheet. My grandson is just the age where he loves to wear a blanket and try to scare us, and this imaginative take on the story of a ghost will be one we read throughout the year. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Pub Date: July 1, 2025.

This charming book follows a little ghost who struggles with feeling different because he’s made of a cozy quilt instead of a classic sheet. The story explores themes of self-acceptance and celebrating uniqueness. With vivid, whimsical illustrations and a tender narrative, it’s a great read for children and adults alike. An instant classic in the making! My children keep asking me to read it again and again.
