I really enjoyed the story of the ghost quilt’s adventure. I can see this book being used for a children’s program centered around a theme of thoughtfulness with an activity that involves designing quilt patterns. I can see various programs being created with this book as the center piece.

As big fans of the original Little Ghost Who Was A Quilt, my daughter and I were positively delighted to give this one a read. And it lived up! This story was full of the same heartwarming adventure and delightful bravery and friendship as the first. My daughter ooh’d and ahh’d at the beautiful Christmas lights on the pages, and we all thought the finishing touch of the Christmas tree was so sweet. Can’t wait to grab a copy of this one for our Christmas book collection!

There’s so much to love about this children’s book — from the adorable illustrations to a new cross-holiday loving character. Fans of the first story “The little ghost who was a quilt” and fans of “There’s a ghost in the attic” by Oliver Jeffers will love this winter story about the ghost quilt!

At 48 pages this is a bit of a longer children’s book yet it didn’t feel long and would be perfect for many ages (3-9). My 6 year old loved this book and also gave it 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Riel Nason and Tundra books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

super cute! thinking about buying and gifting it to one of my baby cousins when it officially releases as it is just such a perfect childrens book!

This was such a cute little story about a Ghost made from a colorful blue quilt instead of a white sheet and discovered Christmas in the human neighborhood and wanted his other ghost friends to see so he decorated their ghost house with a Christmas tree of his own and celebrated it with his ghost friends. Such a cute read!

What a boo-tiful tale! First of all, the prose rolls off the tongue nicely and is fun to read aloud. There are fun plays on words like booooookkkss and boo-tiful. The character is quite adorable since he is made from a quilt unlike the other ghosts. Our story takes place in a charming winter wonderland, and our ghost discovers the joys of the holiday season from decorating the tree with lights to getting together with close friends and family to do crafts and enjoy one another’s company. Ghost Quilt brings the joy of the holidays to his beloved friends who are delighted in decorating a tree of their own. A special treat for the spooky soul who just can’t quite leave Halloween behind, this kooky picture book with warm your soul and bring a smile to your face!

This is a lovely Christmas companion to The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt. It is about the little quilt ghost helping his friends enjoy the magic of the Christmas season. They are not able to go outside and see Christmas lights and decorations themselves, so he brings it to them. It’s a great message about friendship and using your unique gifts to help others. I hope the author continues to write books in this series. Thank you to NetGalley and Tundra Books for the ARC.

Sooo sweet! This was a lovely follow-up to The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt. I enjoyed the illustrations, colors, and cute ghosty friendships.

Loved this charming Christmas book! My daughter got so excited when she realized the lights that were drawing the little ghost in were Christmas lights. The illustrations are fun and beautiful! We loved it! Thank you to Tundra books and NetGalley for this free ARC!

This is a sweet story about a little ghost who is just a bit different than all of their friends - and the pros and cons of being different. The illustrations are adorable and the story conveys several messages that are great for young children to hear. I can’t wait to read this to my students next fall/winter. Definitely recommend for parents and libraries.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think it's perfect for children who like a little sweet, a little spooky, and holidays. I immediately was caught by the title of this book and the illustrations and stayed for the wonderful story. A mixture of ghosts and the winter/Christmastime is relatable for a lot of children and parents as between October through December are really when those fun times and memories are made! I also enjoyed the lesson that despite differences and what makes your differences beneficial, you can come together to use those differences to enjoy your friendships.
Once this is published, I will definitely be purchasing a copy for my little one.

The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise by Riel Nason and illustrated by Byron Eggenschwiler continues the story of our favorite ghost quilt from The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt. This time the Little Ghost finds strength in his differences by being able to fly around in the winter because his quilt keeps him warm. While he does this, he stumbles across new decorations in the human town and all he can think about is sharing them with his friends.

This book shares a beautiful story of finding strength in your differences, making joy out of what you have even if it is a little different, and most of all, sharing that joy with your people. While Nason brings the reader on a journey that builds off of the first book in the series, it is absolutely not necessary to read or remember the details of the first story to still find value in this one. Nason paces the story in a way that is entertaining for both children and adults and provides plenty of pausing points to discuss the aspects of the book with the kiddo.

Aside from the adorably perfect story, the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. Eggenschwiler's work is cozy and beautiful while still adding some haunting touches. The pops of color, scattered throughout in all the right places, helped highlight the haunting and slightly spooky setting which the little ghost fills with joy. I particularly loved the illustration on the last page. I will not spoil it, but I hope you go see it for yourself!

I highly recommend both books in this series to any parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, big sister or brother, teacher, and librarian who will listen. If you have a little one in your personal or professional life, read this book!

A huge thank you to Netgalley and Tundra Books for providing me with a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is an absolutely perfect children's story. The narrative is sweet and heartwarming, the images are gorgeous and whimsical. It would be perfect as a yearly Christmas story read to children!

Very cute art (as in the first one). It's got very light Nightmare Before Christmas vibes and a sweet ending. However, the story is a bit weak and drawn out-- it could've been shorter and stronger.

The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise is another story about the little ghost who is made from a quilt instead of a white sheet. Due to his quilt's thickness, he is able to do more things outside when it's cold than his friends. He tries to find a way to bring the winter cheer to them! This is a sweet story with more gorgeous artwork. This would be a great book to cuddle up and read on a cold day.

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

The Little Ghost Quilt's winter surprise is the perfect Christmas book for the spooky kids who aren't quite ready to let go of the ghost of Halloween. 
This books tells the tale of a ghost made from a blue quilt who love the winter and wants to bring joy to his friends who cannot go as far in the winter due to only having sheets. To help cheer up the other ghosts, the blue quilt ghost brings the light of Christmas to cheer his house bound friends.
I love the use of color in the adorable illustrations in this book. While most of the illustrations are in black and white and grey tones, it makes the blue quilt ghost and the Christmas decorations pop all the more.
I did not realize that this is the second book about the quilt ghost when I requested the ARC but I am going to be looking it up since this story was so adorable.

I loved the illustrations and thought it was a very sweet book - my only complaint is that it felt a little long with some unnecessary details and plot points. There were also quite a few references to the ghost’s “batting” which isn’t really a word a young child needs to be concerned with.

This story just left me filled with the magic of Christmas and a warm glow-like a hug!

For anyone who adored the Little Ghost was a Quilt is sure to love this Christmas spin!! I adored the illustrations that managed to captivate the glow of Christmas despite the spookier setting. And the nostalgic rememberings of the joys of Christmas!! Also loved the kindness/spreading joy message to his friends.

Thoroughly enjoyed!!

genuinely adorable. absolutely one of the best art styles i’ve ever seen for a children’s book and the messaging was lovely. i’m actually going to go read the first one because of how cute this one was. a great little picture book, with the perfect amount of text, wonderful illustrations, and uplifting themes. great for the holiday season but just as good year round, i highly recommend this!

This book is a fun winter/holiday story. I love the fact of the main character being different from the other ghosts. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is sweet and heartwarming.
