Blue Mountain Elementary teacher-librarian Amanda Terris recommends Little Ghost Makes a Friend by Maggie Edkins Willis for Halloween.
Little Ghost Makes a Friend by Maggie Edkins Willis is a Halloween story everyone can enjoy. I could really relate to the excitement and fun of Halloween, especially since I love dressing up and celebrating with friends. But this book also shows how hard it can be to make friends and how meeting new people can sometimes feel a bit scary.
This charming story follows Little Ghost’s quest to make a friend after years of living alone with his mom. It’s about breaking out of your shell (or sheet) and taking a chance, especially when a new girl moves in next door. Little Ghost decides to throw a Halloween party and invite his new neighbour, hoping to make a friend. What will Little Ghost choose as his costume? Will the new girl accept his party invitation?
Little Ghost Makes a Friend shows readers the importance of taking risks when reaching out to make new friends and demonstrates that being your own spooky, sparkly self shows the world who you are and what makes you special. Hopefully, this book inspires you to always be yourself. Have a happy Halloween!
Little Ghost Makes a Friend is available in SD42 libraries. It’s also available as an audiobook on Sora.
