Illustrated by
Byron Eggenschwiler.
The main character from The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt loves “flying outside in the wintertime.” Unfortunately, it is too cold for his ghost-sheet friends to join him. When the ghost quilt discovers December holiday decorations in the human neighborhood one evening, he is inspired to bring winter fun inside to enjoy together with his friends. Nason’s calm, evocative text embraces the little ghost quilt’s contemplative nature, while Eggenschwiler’s sepia and grayscale illustrations match the winter setting with touches of color in the quilt and in the decorations reflecting the season’s sense of warmth and wonder.
