Gracie meets a Ghost is a fantastic children's book written by Keiko Sena and translated by Mariko Gharbi. The story the one of a tender bunny called Gracie. She lost her glasses when she went on the mountain with some friends, and now what to do? Oh, well although she can't see clearly, she knows the road. She meets along her way a lot of animals,thinking that their eyes could be the glasses she was searching for; disturbing also a pretty upset owl, but no, nothing to do. A ghost in the while, was pretty bored. He
couldn't scared anyone and after all no one maybe can be scared anymore; so he can't believe at the luck
when he meets Gracie. "Oh, this one is a tender bunny. She will die when she will see me." But Gracie can't see him because without glasses so she asks him if, please, he can helps her to find the glasses, and to the ghost this one is a great invitation; oh it will be wonderful when he can sees me; she will die for the fear and terror, thinks the ingenuous ghost. And so he starts to search with great passion for sure. He searches and searches here and there, up and down and voilà! at some point Gracie's glasses appeared to the horizon. All thrilled the ghost will bring back the glasses to the bunny hoping in a terrifying surprise but Gracie won't never be in grade to thank the poor ghost for this favor, because a clear sunny day is born where life can re-start again, sunny and joyous as always is.
I love the illustrations of this book, and also how they have portrayed the characters.
Japanese books are very tender.
I thank Museyon Inc. for the eBook.
