Jaybie D.’s illustrations are colorful and amazing, and as a former teacher of children’s writing and illustrating, I love how she lets the illustrations tell the story on some of the pages. This is a book that should be in every classroom. It’s heartwarming and delightful and combines the thrill of Halloween with a reassuring message. I highly recommend this book to parents and teachers everywhere.”
