We were so excited to read @rielnason new book! The Little Ghost Quilt’s Winter Surprise is just as cute as the first one. After finding the first book, my mum made us two ghosty quilts. 👻🧵We will have to take the quilts outside in the snow to photograph for the new book now! Cute little Christmas/Yule read! Can’t wait for our physical copy ✨
Sweet story that will be a good fit for older storytimes at my branch.
The illustrations are pleasant, the story line is easy to follow.
Children may ask why Ghost did not look through attic for quilts for his friends to use which could lead to further discussions.
Overall I enjoyed this sweet simple story of friendship, empathy and Winter celebrations.
The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise, is an endearing and heart-warming story about a quilted ghost who wants to hang out with his friends and have them feel included in all the fun. The Illustrations are phenomenal, love the contrast between spooky halloween vibes as well as all the pops of color that bring that feeling of merriment around the holidays. I would recommend reading this book if you enjoy spooky season and the holidays as much as I do!
This was SO cute, it’s about a ghost who is made out of a quilt instead of a sheet so he’s kept warm during the winter. He’s a little sad because of his ghost friends not being able to hang out outside with him as they are made of sheets so they get cold. The little ghost flies across a village where they are celebrating Christmas and he gets the bright idea to bring Christmas to his home so his friends can celebrate together. The art is beautiful, the story is fantastic.
The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise shares a similar moral with it's original installment. Although it is tailored for children, this book is a great read for all all ages if you want your spirits lifted and your self-esteem boosted.
This is a children's book for children who might love Halloween and all things spooky. Little Ghost Quilt goes on a journey to share winter holiday cheer with his sheet ghost friends.
I enjoyed the illustrations but the story itself felt a little long and choppy writing. It wasn't one that I felt compelled to continue reading and wouldn't necessarily pick it up again. I did think the illustrations were well done and I was looking more for the images from page to page than the written content.
Second in the Little Ghost Quilt Series, our intrepid little explorer explores the Joys of Winter, misses his sheet ghost pals, discovers the Christmas Season: and then works to bring Joy to his friends and to himself!
This little ghost is a quilt instead of a sheet, like his friends. Because he can stay warmer in the winter, he travels outdoors more often and is able to enjoy Christmas around town. He concocts a plan to bring the Christmas spirit to his other ghost friends in this entertaining heartwarming ghost caper.
What an absolute delightful little book. I am a brand new grandmother and this little cutie patootie is going to have space in not only the library in my grand daughter's nursery, but also at her library in our home. The little ghost that could quilt made me have a 100 watt smile at every page .
The Little Ghost Quilt’s Winter Surprise is such a sweet and heartwarming story. Many readers in my school first met Little Ghost Quilt in the first book as a read aloud, and were delighted by the story and illustrations. After reading the second book, I know the same sentiments will remain with readers. There is a lovely theme of friendship and celebrating holidays together. The illustrations really make the story come alive, and I just love the pops of colour throughout the story. Little Ghost Quilt is a favourite character of mine, and I hope there are more adventures in the future.
Thank you for the digital ARC of this story. It will absolutely be added to my library collection once published.
Thank you, NetGalley for the opportunity to enjoy reading this ARC!
What a wonderful book about traditions and finding inspiration. I thought it was very appropriate for the little ghost quilt to be attracted to the humans' Christmas tree and wanting to make something similar to share with his other friends. This is a book that can speak across generations and anyone would be able to enjoy it. Most enjoyable was how the little ghost quilt took a tradition and made it work for himself and his friends, much like many of us do with our own cultures and traditions with our family and loved ones!
This is a darling book. I absolutely love the illustrations; how the background is a bit muted but the ghost who was a quilt is always vibrant. These types of illustrations really draw you in. I especially like the illustrations that span both pages. It sends a cute message of doing something to make others happy and also togetherness.
This second book is just as beautiful as the first. The art and story are beautiful. Given that it is more text heavy and recommend it for ages 6+
Thank you NetGalley and Tundra Books for this ARC!! Sometimes you gotta add a children’s book into the mix and appreciate the artwork!
This was the CUTEST little story about a ghost who is made out of quilt instead of a sheet and his journey through snowy land and Christmas towns! The ghost gets to experience Christmas spirits at their full since he is able to go outside, his other ghostly family members are unable to since they are made out of sheets :( he feels left out but in the end realizes that he can contribute more to his family and provide them with Christmas cheer as they stay indoors to avoid the heavy snow.
Such as cute children’s book and idea!! I absolutely loved it!!! 10/10
What a beautiful story about the Little Ghost Quilt! As the seasons change, so does the surrounding of the Little Ghost Quilt. It is a lovely story that brings the Little Ghost Quilt into a cozy winter season!! Beautiful!!! Thank you for allowing me to preview! This one will be going on the grand baby’s shelf for sure!
An absolutely adorable little story involving a ghost who is a little different but has a huge heart. It isn’t just a cute little story but also a life lesson. The ghosts friends were different, so there needed to be problem solving in order to share a new experience. Because of this everyone had a wonderful night. I can’t wait for this book to release it’s precious and the art style is phenomenal
Thanks to NETGALLEY and Tundra Book Group for eARC // *Part of A Little Ghost Quilt Book
This booooook has some of the coziest art. I would frame practically every page, they are just cute as buttons. Same goes for the story itself, which, to me, was a story of resilience, determination, friendship, togetherness, and creativity. There's inclusion in the art, too, with a nice little nod to Hanukkah/Chanukah. There are some rhymes, some silly lines, and it's neat to spot the quilt ghost like Where's Waldo/Wally, only he is easier to spot. It gave me Haunted Mansion and Sir Alfred Hitchcock ghost stories vibes.
I haven't read any other boooook in this spooktacular series, yet, but I would love to own them all.
Cute book about a ghost who is a quilt instead of a sheet. The quilt ghost can fly outside in winter unlike his friends who are sheets and discovers a winter celebration that he wants to share with his friends. The grayscale illustrations with pops of color fit the story. Thanks to NetGalley and Tundra Books for the ARC.

We really liked this book. There was a delay in getting it as the Galley copy was incorrectly linked, but I'm actually glad that we read this right after Christmas, rather than back in November. My daughter (5) loved this book even more than the first! She was super invested, asking about the poor tired Ghost Quilt after his struggle with the tree branch. We chatted about how he wasn't able to fly with his friends because the wind was too strong for them, and how he was bringing them winter cheer to include them this time. The illustrations are perfectly adorable, and the story was engaging and sweet with a good message. When I asked my daughter if this was a 4 or 5 star she said it was 1 million stars. I then asked her if she would like me to get her a real paper book version we could read, rather than on my phone and she got very excited and agreed. As someone who does fibre crafts, I love that inclusion with the quilt. I also love that this is a Canadian author, and that the message of the story is clearly presented without being heavy handed.
