Synopsis and rationale

Do you know how all those shoes find their way over power lines? Or who puts the holes in your socks? Or why there’s never any toilet paper in a public loo? The answer is simple, but might not be as obvious as you think. It’s ghosts. It’s always ghosts.

Ghosts answers those questions about mundane mysteries that are so commonplace we’ve stopped asking ourselves why they even happen. With gorgeous illustrations from a uniquely nocturnal perspective, Ghosts is a book for spooky kids, curious kids and quiet, deep thinkers.

Ghosts is a 24 page 8”x10” children’s picture book with full page colour illustrations. Ghosts depicts a suburban Australian experience of the everyday with a universal appeal. The subject matter is spooky but not scary, and designed to pique the interest of funny, curious, observant and imaginative young minds keen to know the answers to all of the things. 

Audience

Aimed at young readers (and their parents), to provide a familiar and funny catchphrase when faced with life’s inexplicable mysteries. Can’t find your wallet? Probably ghosts. Lost the remote? Ghosts. Holes in your socks? Definitely ghosts. Ghosts touches the seam of weird, gothic, philosophical children’s literature that’s a little outside the standard moralistic fare. 

Importantly, it’s very silly and fun.
