Gustavo, The Shy Ghost Book

Meet Gustavo, a little ghost who is absolutely fantastic at being ghostly. He can walk through walls, make things float, and glow in the dark. He can even play beautiful music on his violin.

There’s just one problem: Gustavo is terribly shy.

Making friends is much harder than floating through a wall—especially when the other monsters can’t even see him! But with the Day of the Dead approaching, Gustavo decides it’s time to find a way to be noticed and share the music he loves.

Filled with wonderfully quirky illustrations, visual humor, and plenty of spooky-sweet charm, this delightful picture book is a gentle story about loneliness, courage, friendship, and finding your own way to be seen.

Why You’ll Love It:

• A heartwarming story about overcoming shyness and making friends
• Charming, detailed illustrations by Mexican artist Flavia Z. Drago
• Perfect for Halloween, Day of the Dead, or anytime a little spooky magic is needed
• Celebrates creativity, bravery, and being unapologetically yourself
• A sweet read for little monsters who sometimes feel a little invisible

Gustavo may be a ghost, but his story is anything but scary. Sometimes all it takes is a little courage—and the right song—to help you find your people.
