Cecil the Too Solid Ghost

What if the thing that makes you different is the very thing that makes you special?

Cecil the Ghost tries so hard to fit in. He wants to be the kind of ghost who haunts and howls, just like the others in the haunted club. But no matter what he does, things never seem to go quite right. Will he ever find his place? Or will he be left out of the ghostly fun once again?

When Halloween night rolls around, Cecil does something unexpected-he goes trick-or-treating! That simple choice leads to a sweet surprise and a lesson that lasts a lifetime.

Cecil the Ghost is a heartwarming story about listening to your heart, being true to yourself, and finding the courage to stand apart from the crowd. It's perfect for Halloween storytime, but its message will resonate all year long.

This book is a gentle resource for:

Fostering social-emotional learning (SEL) Building confidence and self-awareness Teaching kids that it's okay to be different Discussing peer pressure and inclusion Encouraging kindness and empathy

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or librarian, Cecil the Ghost will spark meaningful conversations with kids about embracing who they are-and helping others do the same.
