About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to explore themes of honesty and peer pressure in a lighthearted, engaging way. This graphic novel is a clever and spooky retelling of the classic "The Emperor's New Clothes," where a vain Ghost Emperor is tricked by ghostly weavers. His subjects all pretend to see his magnificent new robes, afraid of being called foolish, until two visiting human children bravely speak the truth. With its cartoonish ghosts and silly humor, the story provides a perfect, non-preachy entry point for conversations about integrity, vanity, and the courage to think for yourself. The accessible format makes it a great choice for emerging and reluctant readers ages 6 to 9.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The story is populated by ghosts, so the concept of death is present but handled in a completely metaphorical and humorous way. The ghosts are cartoonish and exist in a playful afterlife. The approach is secular, and the resolution is hopeful and validating for the honest protagonists.
