Sonia P.: My daughter is a shy 4 year old so I knew I had to get this book for her. Very nice story and illustrations, keeps my little one engaged and creates opportunity for further discussions while looking at the illustrations.

We took it out from the library so many times we had to make it part of our collection.
Such a sweet story with a cute message and darling illustrations!

Asha: I’ve been seeing this book on Pinterest/ig influencers’ photos of their kids’ seasonal bookshelves and I wasn’t sure about it—I am very picky about what messages I am representing to my toddler through books, and like them to have nice illustrations as well. I read it at B&N and I knew I HAD to get it!!! As an adult, I immediately loved it—in college, I threw what would have been a really fun Halloween party for my work friends, who all said they would come and told me literally just hours before how excited they were…but when it came time for the party, literally no one showed up except my 3 closer friends. Everyone else had come up with some excuse. Turns out they had all gone—together—to a tailgating party in a town hours away! I was crushed, and haven’t thrown another party since (except my son’s 1st birthday, which no one came to except one friend 😭).

My son is a generally outgoing toddler with adults and with peers at school, but with older kids or children he doesn’t know, he gets verrrry shy. Gustavo seems to have a similar problem! Right away, my son engaged with this book. He loves looking at the “ghostes” and also enjoys talking...

Treasa: Really love this book - has a really lovely story about a shy ghost, and it doesn't go the expected direction of him changing to make friends, but the friends coming to him, when he shares what he enjoys. Love the messaging and the images are beautiful.

Clo: This book is beautifully written. My daughter took this into nursery and she is quite slow to warm up. Such a lovely book. The teacher appreciated it too!

IMA CAROLINA: Un bello cuento que trata el tema de la inseguridad y timidez en algunos niños y como, con valentía, y siendo uno mismo, se puede vencer esta situación. Me identifiqué mucho con Gustavo, el fantasmita, porque yo pasé por eso.
