It's autumn and Luna is preparing for a spook-tacular Halloween with her family and friends. Join them to learn more about how and why it is celebrated!

Get into the Halloween spirit with Celebrations & Festivals: Halloween, a beautifully illustrated, narrative non-fiction picture book designed for children. This engaging and informative book takes young readers on a colourful journey through the history and significance of Halloween and other related festivals that share the same themes, all told with a gentle, age-appropriate voice.

Meet Luna, her little brother Oliver, their parents, their dog Rafferty, and their little black cat, Midnight! Together, they get ready for a happy Halloween by visiting a pumpkin patch, navigating a corn maze, and making spooky props to decorate their house with. Luna has plenty of fun with her friends too, carving jack-o-lanterns, baking sweet treats, having a Halloween party with festive games, making costumes, going 'trunk-or-treating' and finally, going 'trick-or-treating' on Halloween night!

Halloween doesn't have to be too scary - this book can help those who are afraid to understand and demystify the traditions and symbols associated with it, so they can join in the fun too!

Follow young relatable characters and their parents as they celebrate the spooky season, spreading joy and fun throughout the community.

Discover the origins of Halloween and how it has evolved into the celebrations we have today.

Follow the recipe to make some tasty banana ghost pops.

With 16 pages of extra non-fiction content, including quizzes and activities that bring the learning experience to life, this book encourages young minds to engage, create, and understand the cultural significance of Halloween and related festivals around the world.

Perfect for families, educators, and young readers, this book celebrates diversity, inclusion, and all the fun of Halloween.

About the Author

Nancy Dickmann grew up in the USA, where she played baseball, ate hot dogs and read encyclopaedias for fun. She has now lived in England long enough to think that cold and rain are normal, but still has yet to try Morris dancing. Before becoming an author, she worked as an editor and publisher of children's books. Now, with Pushkin the Three-Legged Wonder Cat as her trusty assistant (in charge of lap-sitting), she writes books on a wide range of topics, including animals, space, history, health and explorers. The highlight of her career so far has been getting to interview a real astronaut to find out how they use the toilet in space!Laura Borio was born in Turin, Italy, in 1986. The moment her parents put colored pencils in her hands, she decided to try them on the kitchen walls. And she hasn't stopped drawing since. In 2008, Laura attended a comic book illustration course that changed her life, opened her mind, and propelled her down the career path of a children's book illustrator.
