內容簡介
內容簡介 與眾不同的棉被小鬼鬼 有個小精靈鬼鬼,是拼布棉被,它的爸爸媽媽卻都是輕盈的被單,不須大費周章,便能輕飄飄地在天空飛翔,乘風遨遊。棉被精靈太重,怎麼飛都飛不起來,只能眼巴巴地看一家人自由飛翔。它不喜歡和大家不一樣的感覺。爸媽說,爺爺是西洋棋桌巾,很重,可是奶奶卻是纖柔蕾絲布,他們也不一樣啊。不過,這一點也沒安慰到棉被精靈。萬聖夜晚上,小女孩到附近要糖果,衣著單薄,覺得好冷,厚重的棉被精靈發現自己竟能及時提供溫暖,小女孩好感激啊。在這過程中,棉被精靈似乎漸漸發現自己的優點了呢。 When you're a quilt instead of a sheet, being a ghost is hard An adorable picture book for fans of Stumpkin and How to Make Friends with a Ghost. Ghosts are supposed to be sheets, light as air and able to whirl and twirl and float and soar. But the little ghost who is a quilt can't whirl or twirl at all, and when he flies, he gets very hot. He doesn't know why he's a quilt. His parents are both sheets, and so are all of his friends. (His great-grandmother was a lace curtain, but that doesn't really help cheer him up.) He feels sad and left out when his friends are zooming around and he can't keep up. But one Halloween, everything changes. The little ghost who was a quilt has an experience that no other ghost could have, an experience that only happens because he's a quilt... and he realizes that it's OK to be different.
