The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise

Item 9781774885376
Sale price$18.99

When you're a quilt instead of a sheet, being a ghost is hard! But it does mean you can float around in cold weather . . . an adorable picture book about a ghost who wants to share the magic of the season with his chilly sheet friends.

The little ghost quilt loves being out in the cold. For once, he doesn't overheat, and he likes how the snowflakes make his patches look polka-dotted. His friends, who are sheets, get too cold in the winter weather and have to stay inside, but the little ghost quilt doesn't mind. He enjoys slowly drifting along on his own.

On one of his frosty flights, he sees something happening in the town. People are putting up warm, twinkling lights, and there's a fun festive feeling everywhere - like Halloween, his favorite season, but with snowmen and wreaths and candles in windows instead of pumpkins. He is filled with excitement and happiness looking at all the beautiful decorations and joyous people, yet he can't help but feel sad that his friends can't be there.

But then, after almost getting caught in a blizzard, the little ghost quilt is struck by inspiration . . .

A Perfect Holiday Read for Kids

"This was the perfect follow up to The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt where we met our little ghost and watched him overcome sadness at being different than the other ghosts and ultimately embrace his uniqueness at Halloween. This follows up with the little ghost and friends waiting out the cold weather of winter and bringing the Christmas spirit to their haunted house. It was the perfect time of year to read this and made me feel so cozy. This highlights the bonds of friendship and family and how gestures big and small can bring smiles to faces, especially at Christmas time. Like the last book, the art in this was so detailed. The images brought the winter landscape and Christmas cheer alive."

Wonderful

"Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for a honest review. I promise my review is 100% accurate to me. This is the second ghost quilt book I have read and I love it as much the first one. The story itself is beautiful and the illustrations are worthy to be hung on my wall. That's a fabulous book"

Beautifully illustrated and charming

"The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise is an engaging and sweetly written picture book for young readers by Riel Nason. Due out 26th Aug 2025 from Penguin Random House on their Tundra imprint, it's 48 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats. 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. He's sad and missing his friends when he's having adventures in the cold snowy weather while his thin ""sheet"" ghost friends have to stay inside because of the cold and snow. 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"" expressions, 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."

Charming!

"This is a nice wintry story highlighting the joys of friendship, working together on a project, and doing nice things for each other. Beautiful story! The illustrations Byron Eggenschwiler are simple, imaginative, FUN, and show just what is happening using brilliant colors against a more bland background. Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age, including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, waiting room, or your local public library! I requested and received a temporary uncorrected digital Galley on Thorium PDF from Tundra Book Group | Tundra Books via NetGalley.

Winter Time Fun!

"The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise, is an endearing and heart-warming story about a quilted ghost who wants to hang out with his friends and have them feel included in all the fun. The Illustrations are phenomenal, love the contrast between spooky halloween vibes as well as all the pops of color that bring that feeling of merriment around the holidays. I would recommend reading this book if you enjoy spooky season and the holidays as much as I do!"

🌬❄Cute art & a great message🎄

"This children's story was great, with a message of the joy of sharing and friendship. The cute little ghost quilt turns his difference from the other sheeted ghosts to an advantage as he wants to bring the beauty of Christmas lights, crafts and decorations to them in the frigid, blustery winter when his friends must stay indoors and don't know about the holiday cheer humans are creating. The little ghost quilt is giving, brave and inventive and the illustrations are really well done. I can see a child wanting to read this cute book repeatedly and not just at the holidays. Thanks to Tundra Books and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the story; this is my voluntary and honest opinion."
