Raves and Reviews

"Inviting readers into a shy ghost’s inner world, this immersive title proves gently reassuring and deeply profound."

– Publishers Weekly, starred review

"The detail-rich art cleverly suggests the spirit presence, with glowing spots of light and empty space, gradually showing more conventional white blobs with pink cheeks. A pleasing pre-party pep talk."

– Kirkus Reviews
