Halloween Good Night
Gliding through the moonlight
come the monsters big and small,
sliding up your stairway
and oozing down your hall.
They aren’t very scary,
in fact they’re rather sweet.
So snuggle into bed and let them whisper,
“Trick or treat!”
Ghastly ghouls count down to Halloween in this not-so-terrifying bedtime tale.
Illustrated by Ella Okstad.

PRAISE FOR HALLOWEEN GOOD NIGHT
"Grabill makes an oft-adapted rhyme feel utterly fresh [...]. Okstad’s scraggily rendered monsters are pink cheeked and cuddle worthy—the book captures the mischievous fun of Halloween, without the accompanying terror."
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
"A fun storytime read-aloud that’s just right for the youngest Halloween revelers." –Luann Toth
Rebecca Grabill
Rebecca has been writing since childhood, her first book about a kitten published between homemade cardboard covers in second grade. Although she studied religion and philosophy in university, she continued writing, earning an MFA from Hamline University and publishing multiple picture books (no longer with homemade covers) and a collection of poetry with a variety of New York and independent publishers. She has also published a wide array of fiction, essays, and poetry in magazines and journals and photographs for Getty Images. She balances writing with homeschooling the younger of her six children, launching her young adults, church activities, and overseeing a small flock of chickens in rural West Michigan.
