A loveable, lonely ghost meets a buoyant new companion, proving that friendship is never truly out of reach.

Most of the time
no one noticed Ghost.

It isn’t always easy for a ghost to make friends; even a rosy-cheeked ghost with big glasses. Ghost lives in a noisy, diverse city where children play and laugh, and longs to join in. But most people look right through Ghost.

When a bright red balloon wanders Ghost’s way, the connection is instantaneous. Together they try everything Ghost had ever hoped to share with a friend. But when Ghost’s balloon gets lost, Ghost learns that when you’re looking for a friend, a friend might find you.
With A Friend for Ghost, Suzanne Kaufman, New York Times Bestselling illustrator of All Are Welcome, brings watercolors to life in an utterly charming tale about putting yourself out there and finding the ones who get you.

Madison ★★★★★

My kid asked for this every night for two weeks straight after we read it once. The way the ghost's loneliness and the new friend's energy bounce off each other really lands, and the pages turned themselves.

Daniel H. ★★★★★

My son asked me to read this three times in a row tonight — the lonely ghost's journey really pulls at the heartstrings, and that buoyant new companion is such a sweet contrast. The pacing is just right for a bedtime story, not too long, not too short.

Matthew K. ★★★★★

The way Ghost’s new friend bounces into the story turned my kids into instant fans—we’ve read it three nights running. That buoyant companion really steals every page, and the message about friendship landing in unexpected places feels just right.
