About
A picture book about a lonely ghost who learns to share and is finally fulfilled through friendship.
Gwei the ghost is absolutely famished, but he won't eat just anything with the other ghosts in the cemetery. Luckily, it's Ghost Festival month: the one time a year that ghosts roam the realm of the living. Gwei flutters around the city eating steaming bowls of noodles, hot, hot, HOT chestnuts, and crispy fried fish with chili oil.
But no matter how many dumplings Gwei eats, his hunger won't go away. Determined to find the perfect meal, he continues his search, stuffing his pouch until it's overflowing. Then, a chill creeps over him. Another hungry ghost! He hears her grumbling belly and reaches into his pouch to share. To his surprise, he finally feels full.
With warm, glowing illustrations by Basia Tran and charming text by Emeline Lee, Gwei the Hungry Ghost is a story about how friendship helps us grow. Emeline Lee is a writer of children's literature.
