The Little Ghost by Ottfried Preussler
Originally written in German by Ottried Preussler (who by the way had the most interesting life), The Little Ghost is the tale of a curious ghost who traps himself in a situation he doesn’t want to be in, and what he does to return things to normal. All about learning to love yourself and the lot you’ve been given! Not spooky or frightening at all, so a great “ghost story” for the little ones. I am so in love with the illustrations!
