A cosy, ghostie tale of friendship, kindness and connection by two legendary picture book masters.
A little ghost lives in a vase in the attic, but when the vase breaks, the ghost goes round the house, looking for a new home: something made with love. But the house is full of tidy and shiny new things instead of old, cosy, comforting ones.
When the girl of the house helps the ghost settle into a round teapot full of warm memories, the ghost can do something for the girl too: encourage her creativity and confidence.
An intriguing, thought-provoking story of friendship and encouragement by two award-winning picture book creators.
"Nothing, though, felt as original or resonant as I Will Haunt This, by Viviane Schwarz and illustrated by The Observer’s political cartoonist Chris Riddell (Walker Books, £8.99, published 24 September). The story centres on a ghost who finds itself without anything to haunt. In its search for something new, it makes an unlikely friend in a little girl who that day has struggled to draw something and, in frustration, has scratched and scribbled it out. This is a tender tale of how items can carry meaning and importance, and of appreciating the things we make, be it through creative pursuits or by spending time with one another." - The Observer
"A captivating story with beautiful art work. My 3 and 5 year old loved it, asking me to read it again and again....and again!!" - NetGalley Reviewer
"
A scrumptious reminder that human made things are the PERFECT places for a lil' haunting and a home for hope and creativity.
A bizarrely beautiful human story with ethereal illustrations from Chris.
