About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are having a streak of bad luck or when they are feeling discouraged by small setbacks. It is a perfect choice for the child who takes things to heart and needs to see that a rough start to a day does not have to define the ending. The story follows three friends whose Halloween begins with a series of disasters, from ruined costumes to being picked on by older kids. As the night unfolds, the story moves from realistic frustration into a world of whimsical magic where the trio discovers that resilience and friendship can turn any situation around. This is a wonderful tool for normalizing the feeling of 'everything is going wrong' while offering a hopeful, imaginative perspective. It is best suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating social hierarchies and learning how to bounce back from disappointment.
