Echo’s Happy Halloween
A sweet, rhyming Halloween picture book for kids ages 2-6, following Echo the friendly bat as he invites a lonely ghost, a wobbly witch, and a giggly pumpkin to join his spooky-season fun.
Halloween books for little ones can be a tricky balance, festive and fun without tipping into anything too scary or overwhelming for sensitive listeners. Many families want the season’s spirit without the spookiness that leaves young kids uneasy at bedtime.
Echo’s Happy Halloween strikes exactly that balance. Echo, a cheerful little bat, zooms through the night sky looking for Halloween fun, and finds it by including everyone he meets along the way. A lonely ghost who thinks no one will play with him, a witch stirring up “candy stew,” and a giggly rolling pumpkin all join Echo’s crew, because as Echo says, “more is fun.”
Told in playful, rhythmic rhyme, this gentle story is perfect for bedtime, classroom Halloween parties, or story time with a warm message tucked inside the spooky-season fun: everyone deserves a friend, and the more the merrier when it comes to celebrating together.
Written by a real special needs family – every book is created from lived experience, not just theory, and 100% of proceeds support our son’s special needs journey.
