About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a disappointment that feels like the end of the world, or when a highly anticipated event hits a major snag. While centered around Halloween, this story is really a masterclass in emotional regulation and pivot-planning for young children. When Keyana's brother's costume is ruined by a playful dog, the family doesn't give up: they lean into creativity and teamwork to save the day. It is an excellent choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning to navigate the frustration of ruined plans. Parents will appreciate how it models a calm, collaborative approach to problem solving, showing that the best memories often come from the DIY 'Plan B' rather than the perfect 'Plan A.'
