Ghosts are supposed to be sheets, light as air and able to whirl and twirl and float and soar. But the little ghost who is a quilt can' t whirl or twirl at all, and when he flies, he gets very hot. He doesn' t know why he' s a quilt. His parents are both sheets, and so are all of his friends. (His great-grandmother was a lace curtain, but that doesn' t really help cheer him up. ) He feels sad and left out when his friends are zooming around and he can' t keep up. But one Halloween, everything changes. The little ghost who was a quilt has an experience that no other ghost could have, an experience that only happens because he' s a quilt . . . and he realizes that it' s OK to be different.
