Hi, I’m Mac Barnett. I write books for children. A lot of picture books, some novels for kids. This is my newest picture book. It is called Leo: A Ghost Story. It’s written by me and illustrated by my friend Christian Robinson.
This is one of my favorite illustrators. It’s a story about a ghost who scares a family who moves into his house, unintentionally scares them and is forced to leave his house. He makes a new friend, but she doesn’t know he’s a ghost. She just thinks he’s one of her imaginary friends.
And so he’s terrified to tell her the truth about himself. I’ll read a little bit from it.
“This is Leo. Most people cannot see him. But you can. Leo is a ghost.”
“For many years, Leo lived by himself in a house on the edge of the city reading books and drawing pictures in the dust. One day in spring, a family moved in.”
So if you want to find out what happens when that family moves into Leo’s house, you’ll have to read the rest of the book.
