Gustavo, the Shy Ghost

In GUSTAVO, THE SHY GHOST, a little ghost named Gustavo who is good at doing all sorts of ghostly things: walking through walls, making objects fly, and glowing in the dark. However, Gustavo is shy, and there are some things that are harder for him to do, like interacting with other monsters and making new friends. Gustavo desperately wants to make a friend but he's too timid to talk to the other monsters. Still, Gustavo is determined to overcome his fears, and he plans to share something he's good at with the rest of the little monsters. He invites them all to his violin concert at the Day of the Dead party! with a fun variety of paranormal characters. Gustavo discovers that he can stay true to himself by using his strengths to overcome his weaknesses and that he doesn't have to change to make others like him. Author/illustrator Drago cleverly sprinkles iconic images of Mexican culture among the pages. Decorated skulls seem to pop up every time you turn the page -- even the family goldfish is a skeleton! And there's a Day of the Dead celebration at the cemetery.
