Description

In Reese Has a Halloween Secret, a young boy gives out clues with each chapter as he tells how he and his father plan and build his annual Halloween costume. Just like you do with your friends, he wants you to guess what he’s going to dress up to be this year. Reese is a dreamer. He loves to imagine and he loves to build. It’s a challenge building a costume that includes his wheelchair and it is very AWESOME. Step by step he shares their story and the ups and downs it takes until finally he has his amazing costume ready for his school parade. By sharing Reese’s story, we celebrate Reese’s many strengths and abilities. Reese had childhood cancer resulting in a spinal cord injury.

Review
“I had a few kids in our sports club read this book- ages 6 to 12-- and all enjoyed this story. (this rarely happens). The story had them thinking creatively about their own abilities and how to make things that might be seen as a detriment into an asset. It also reframed some of their assumptions and misconceptions about other people. A great social and emotional learning selection for the lower through middle grades.”
-Nicole Miller Sheehan, Educator
