A cosy, ghostie tale of friendship, kindness and connection by two legendary picture book masters.
A little ghost lives in a vase in the attic, but when the vase breaks, the ghost goes round the house, looking for a new home: something made with love. But the house is full of tidy and shiny new things instead of old, cosy, comforting ones.
When the girl of the house helps the ghost settle into a round teapot full of warm memories, the ghost can do something for the girl too: encourage her creativity and confidence.
An intriguing, thought-provoking story of friendship and encouragement by two award-winning picture book creators.
