Last year I discovered Gustavo the Shy Ghost by Flavia Z. Drago when the book was a special deal at Barnes and Noble, and I simply fell in love with the sweet ghost. Gustavo is a shy, lonely ghost in need of a friend. The basic idea is little cliche, but artwork really makes up for it. Gustavo is so adorable and the message has a ton of heart. I used this book as an exemplary example of a children’s book with a great message for kids. Follow this link to purchase your own copy of Gustavo! He is the perfect ghost to haunt your Halloween shelf!
