‘Spoops: The Little Spirits of Halloween’ Children’s Book Tells Magic New Fable
A brand new illustrated children’s book coming this fall, Spoops: The Little Spirits of Halloween will explore the magic behind Halloween, introducing a fable for the whole family.
The 72-page hardcover book is written by AJ LoCascio, featuring illustrations by Laurie A. Conley.
From the official synopsis: Who changes the leaves? Summons the autumn winds? Wakes ghosts and spirits to haunt houses and chill the air? Why, Spoops, of course! They hatch from the smallest gourds in your local pumpkin patch at the start of every fall, then tend to your town to ensure everything is just right for Halloween.
In this story, young Holly Hollowell loves Halloween more than anything, but her dentist parents are totally against any event that promotes tooth-rotting sweets. While other kids trick-or-treat, Holly watches sadly from her window…until the Spoops arrive to turn things around! With their magical help, Holly can finally show her parents the true spirit of Halloween: not the candy, but the joy of expressing yourself, unleashing your imagination, and letting your spooky side soar!
Presented in rhyming verse that recalls Dr. Seuss and ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, along with nostalgic illustrations colored in fitting black, white, and orange, Spoops promises to be an instantly timeless classic that places Halloween right alongside other beloved holidays.
Spoops: The Little Spirits of Halloween will be released on September 2.
