Description
Discover the Magic of Being Different! Barnaby’s Bright Idea is a beautifully illustrated children’s story that turns traditional spooky tropes upside down. Every ghost in Spooksville is expected to be pale, quiet, and terrifying, but Barnaby has a secret: he loves art and colors.
After an embarrassing moment in Ghost School where he accidentally creates a glowing colorful mess instead of a scary “BOO!”, Barnaby runs away to hide in a human attic. There, he hears Maya, a little girl terrified of her pitch-black bedroom. Forgetting his own sadness, Barnaby uses his unique gift to fill her dark room with luminous neon green stripes, glowing purple zig-zags, and warm, shimmering art.
