Welcome difference with compassion. When a playful stingray pops by to say hello, everyone swims away in fright. No one takes the time to see that this “ghost” just wants to make friends. Feeling lonely and left out, the little stingray wonders if anyone will look past their ghostly appearance and see who they really are. The Happy Ghost is a story about kindness, belonging and learning not to judge others by how they look. With colourful underwater illustrations and a message that encourages empathy and inclusion, this picture book is perfect for sparking conversations about acceptance and unfairness.

cute and good message

Very cute.

The rhymes weren't always smooth but the wonderfully sweet illustrations balance it out.

I also like the "fascinating facts" list at the end of the book. Didn’t know that stingrays have something in common with bees!

Recommended to all ages, not just kids!
