A beautiful book about belonging, which reassures young children who are afraid of ghosts, and teaches us all to be kinder to others.
Note from the author: After telling my youngest child that ‘Ghosts don’t have to be scary’ countless times, I wanted to challenge the stereotype of a ghost story and spin it so we think of things from the ghost’s perspective: Who are they, where they live and their idea of ‘home’. This story is about a ghost who lived happily in a house but has that taken away from him by a family who want to live there instead. I wanted to share a message that just because someone is different, this doesn’t mean we don’t show kindness and respect to them, I also wanted to encourage a narrative around displacement and sharing this place we call ‘home’.
