The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt is an engaging and sweetly written picture book for young readers by Riel Nason. Originally released in 2022, this special foil imprint gift edition is being released 1st July 2025 by Penguin Random House on their Tundra imprint, it's 48 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats (special foil embossed gift edition is in hardcover).
Instead of being a sheet like his friends and family, Little Ghost is a patchwork quilt. He feels left out and just -different-. Through his adventures, he finally figures out that just maybe, being different isn't always a bad thing.
The text is simple, spare, and direct. The softly rendered illustrations by Byron Eggensehwiler enhance the story very well and are full of atmosphere and expressive details (see Little Ghost's facial expression on the cover, for example).
Five stars. This is a wonderful book for kids with good takeaways for all-ages. It would be an excellent choice for public or classroom library, home use, and gift giving, as well as a library story-time or reading circle.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
