The Giggling Ghost

Picture Book project: Character development for a story about a ghostling in training. Each ghostling is assigned a specific human child, but this ghostling’s child, Barbara, does not scare easily. In fact, the ghostling can hardly contain his giggles when he is with Barbara. *For inquiries about the manuscript, please contact Zöe Tucker.
