She Wanted to Be Haunted
This delightfully spooky picture book answers the important question of how you can be your very best self.
If only I were haunted-I'd never be alone!But look at me: I'm cheerful!
I've got to change my tone! Clarissa the cottage is adorable . . . bright pink, with windows that wink, and flowers growing all around. But Clarissa doesn't want to be adorable--being cute is boring. Couldn't she be like her father, a creepy castle home to vampires and crypts? Or like her mother, a witch's hut full of spells and smells? If only she were haunted! Then she'd be less ordinary . . . What will it take for Clarissa to go from adorable to horrible?

Praise for this book
"This lyrical picture book about the wonders of seeds will charm readers with its fun gatefolds and softly appealing illustrations of animals and plants." --Shelf Awareness, starred review, on WHAT WILL GROW?
"Ghahremani's art is playful yet refined, and the soft textures of the wood she paints on bring warmth to vignettes of dandelion-laden meadows, pumpkins stalked by a fox, and frosty winter fields." --Publishers Weekly, starred review, on WHAT WILL GROW? "Captures the magic and excitement of planting a garden and waiting for it to bloom." --School Library Journal, starred review, on WHAT WILL GROW? "An utterly original take on themes of self-acceptance just in time for Halloween, this is a potential hit to have on every shelf." --School Library Journal "Bouncy verses. . . . provide Clarissa with a spunky, appealing personality. . . . Not necessarily just for Halloween; readers can appreciate it any time." --Kirkus Reviews
