      <image:title>Blog - Halloween Books for Kids - The Little Ghost Who Was A Quilt</image:title>
      <image:caption>The story of a little ghost who is a quilt instead of a sheet and goes on an adventure. With themes of self-acceptance and finding your strengths, this is truly adorable and sweet story! To go along with this book we made a little quilt ghost puppet by gluing scraps of fabric and paper onto a piece of card stock. Then we cut it into the shape of a ghost, glued on eyes and a mouth, and taped on a popsicle stick handle. View on Amazon</image:caption>
