Children’s book illustration showing a little girl wrapped up in a purple and gold quilt, surrounded by a dark blue and purple background. A friendly ghost grandma, with faint hearts swirling inside of and behind her, is wrapping her arms lovingly around the girl. The girl has a bittersweet expression on her face, like she is missing her grandma, but the quilt is helping her feel a little better because it is a reminder of her grandma’s love.
