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!
