A New York Times Best Illustrated Book—now in paperback!
“A fearful ghost, a take-charge girl, an interracial friendship, and a tale in which fear is . . . sweetly tied to positive qualities of imagination.” —The New York Times
Most people cannot see ghosts. Can you? Follow Leo in this heartfelt tale about a friendly ghost who, after struggling to fit in, sets off on a journey of self-discovery and friendship, capturing the magic of belonging and the unexpected joys of adventure.
You would like being friends with Leo. He likes to draw, he makes delicious snacks, and most people can't even see him. Because Leo is also a ghost. When a new family moves into his home and Leo's efforts to welcome them are misunderstood, Leo decides it is time to leave and see the world. That is how he meets Jane, a kid with a tremendous imagination and an open position for a worthy knight. Leo and Jane become friends, and that is when their adventures begin.
This charming tale of friendship—from two of the best creators in picture books: the author of the Caldecott Honor–winning Extra Yarn and the illustrator of the Newbery Medal–winning Last Stop on Market Street—is destined to become a modern classic that will delight readers for years to come.
