And Then Comes Halloween

With poetic language and vivid collage illustrations, a debut author and a Caldecott Honor artist follow all the familiar Halloween rituals in this exuberant picture book, from hanging paper skeletons to carving pumpkins, from costume-making to trick-or-treating. Full color.

Tom Brenner says of his inspiration for AND THEN COMES HALLOWEEN, his first book for children, "I watched October dress up for one last colorful romp before winter and felt the wild energy that sends kids out wearing capes or weird hats to rule the street for a night." He lives on Vashon Island, Washington.

Holly Meade has illustrated many picture books, including David Elliott’s ON THE FARM as well as the Caldecott Honor-winning HUSH! A THAI LULLABY and its follow-up, PEEK! A THAI HIDE-AND-SEEK, both by Minfong Ho. She lives in Sedgwick, Maine.
