Reach for this book when your child expresses interest in Halloween but shows signs of hesitation, anxiety, or sensory overwhelm regarding spooky costumes and decorations. It is a gentle tool for validating the 'scary-fun' tension that many young children experience during the autumn season. The story follows Katie Woo as she navigates the excitement and minor fears of Halloween night, ultimately finding her own way to be brave. It is perfectly pitched for children ages 5 to 7 who are beginning to read independently but still need emotional reassurance that it is okay to feel a little bit nervous. Parents will appreciate how it models healthy communication about fear without dismissing the child's feelings, making it a comforting choice for a bedtime read or a pre-holiday preparation tool.
