Karmentxu and the Little Ghost
by Mariasun Landa,
Translated by Linda White
Description
A simply told, warm-hearted story about a subject few American children’s books address. Perched on a lamppost, the little ghost tells the touching story of his friend Karmentxu, who is mentally ill. Karmentxu imagines that she sees a little ghost who prefers to play with children and not scare them. Her Aunt Edurne has kept a close eye on Karmentxu ever since her release from the hospital. This award-winning tale speaks to the hearts and fears of all children. This is the first English publication of this story, accompanied by the original Basque text. Translated by Linda White
