When a ghost is in a bad mood, his pal tries to turn his frown upside down in this irresistible picture book about there always being something to love.

A ghost is having a very bad day. He feels like he hates EVERYTHING! Lucky for him, he has a good ghost friend to talk it through with. Because if he doesn’t really hate sweets or flowers or dressing up, and he definitely doesn’t hate his friend, then maybe he doesn’t hate everything after all…

Two utterly adorable ghosts prove the power of positive friendship in this funny, heartfelt story of a grump and a smiley friend. Big ghostie is NOT in a good mood and declares that he absolutely hates everything. Little ghostie is taken aback, because surely he doesn't hate tasty sweets, or doing fun things? Maybe big ghostie just needs some quiet encouragement to remember he actually likes quite a lot of things.

To anyone with a toddler, or that cranky voice in their head after a long day, these two ghosties are 100% relatable. Life can be overwhelming, and it's important to have the space to vent frustration as well as to have someone around to nudge us back toward all the good there is to be found, even the very little things like sugary treats or puppies or a nice bit of sunshine.

Bold, vibrant illustrations with minimal text make this a great book for early readers and one to be loved over and over again.
