Halloween conjures up all kinds of wonderful memories.
I have my own, preparing for that magical night where you get to pretend you are someone else.
Year after year, we'd break out the glue, all kinds of sparkling trims and create what we thought were the most amazing, beautiful outfits.
We'd giggle and scamper up to the homes with lights left on, so we would know they welcomed us. Over the years, we caught on to using larger bags for our treats. We even made a map one year, to scope out the best homes in the neighborhood. Of course, they handed out the best treats! They were well known, so we wanted to leave as early as possible.
As the years passed, I became a mommy. I had just as much fun as when I was a kid. I'd dress up, take my kids out and we all had a wonderful night. We'd hand out candies and sometimes I'd sit on the front porch with a "cauldron" full of candy, draped with an over-sized hooded robe, I'd cackle like a witch and would hear shrieks and giggles as the kids loved to be frightened in a safe way.
I became an artist and later an animation director, but I always dreamed of writing children's books. This year I published my first one! And the subject you ask? Well of COURSE it was about the joy of Halloween trick-or-treating!
It's a fun, rhyming children's book and the illustrations are colorful. Each character is such a good friend of mine. I have heard that even children at 8 love the book.
If you love seeing your little ones giggle and smile and use their imagination. Check out my book!
It's Halloween What Shall I Be? #1 in the Sea Friends Adventures series, by ME :D BE Leveille.

little video I made about how I made the characters. The video is on the right side of the author's page, where you will see a pic of me :)
