A whimsical and fun story about what you do if you (are lucky enough to) meet a ghost!

Title: How to Make Friends with a Ghost

Author / Illustrator: Rebecca Green 

Publisher: Tundra Books

How do you meet a ghost? Well, from the author's perspective, you should be a very sweet and kind person, and then, a ghost might find you! This book talks about taking care of the ghost and how to befriend it, well, if you meet one! In this story, we meet a girl who has made friends with a ghost.

There are three sections in this story - Ghost Basics, Ghost Care, and Growing Together. It describes to the reader what are the do's and don'ts while dealing with a ghost, its favorite snacks, the bedtime stories it likes, how to grow up (and old) with a ghost, some issues like moving to a new house when living with a ghost, and so on.

Even though the story moves in a unique and fanciful way, the ending made us a little surprised and emotional like a bolt from the blue!

Don't want to spoil it - read and see!

📚 Creative story with the theme of friendship.
