What is The little ghost who was a quilt about?
Most ghosts are light as air, able to whirl, twirl and soar. But the little ghost who is a quilt is different: he is heavy, gets hot when he flies and cannot keep up with his sheet-shaped friends. Feeling lonely and left out, he wonders why he was made this way. Then, on Halloween night, an unexpected adventure shows him that being a quilt gives him a special gift no other ghost possesses—and that being different can be wonderful.
