We are thrilled to announce the arrival of The Happy Ghost, a stunning new hardcover picture book written and illustrated by award-winner Kelsey Marshalsey.
What is The Happy Ghost About?
In this enchanting tale, we meet a creature who looks a bit like a ghost swirling and twirling under the sea. The Happy Ghost follows the journey of a misunderstood stingray navigating a world filled with teal crabs and wise old turtles.
At its heart, the book is about showing kindness to others, despite how they might appear. It’s a gentle reminder for young readers (and adults) to welcome others with compassion rather than judgment.
Why we love it:
-
Vibrant Illustrations: Marshalsey’s digital art style uses soft, expressive textures that bring the marine world to life.
-
Rhythmic Language: With phrases like “click-clacking teal crabs,” the book is a joy to read aloud.
-
Bonus Science Lesson: The book concludes with six kid-friendly stingray facts, making it a perfect blend of fiction and STEM learning!
Perfect for Story time and Classrooms
Whether you are a parent looking for a cozy bedtime story or a teacher planning a unit on ocean life or social-emotional learning (SEL), The Happy Ghost is a must-have for your bookshelf.
