I Hate Everything!

Sophy Henn, illustrated by Sophy Henn

A cheerful ghost sets out to help a grumpy ghost reconsider the claim that everything is hateful. Their exchange centers on a difficult, frown-filled day and the possibility of recognizing things to love instead. The story follows the two ghostly friends as one persistently encourages the other to admit that not everything is so bad. Spare, expressive illustrations accompany this playful tale.
