A Friend for Ghost

(3) K-3 Rosy-cheeked Ghost lives in the attic of a house belonging to a busy, boisterous family. Other than the dog, no one notices Ghost, who is "always alone in a crowd." Kaufman's friendly illustrations star a reserved bespectacled spirit who longs for companionship, which Ghost finally finds in a stray red balloon. "Could it be...a friend?" Ghost and "the friend" are inseparable until the balloon floats away during a game of hide-and-seek. Ghost is devastated. Will our sensitive specter be friendless forever? Fear not: the story ends happily for Ghost, the balloon, and a new pal.
