Three things to bring: a flashlight, a pumpkin bucket, and two glowing bracelets.

Knock, knock... trick or treat! Candy drops in your bucket. Plunk!

A pirate. A dinosaur. A bumblebee. Everyone is dressed up!
Sample art
Knock, knock... trick or treat! Plunk, plunk! Your bucket is getting heavy.
Sample art
At the end of the street stands an old, creaky house. Creeeeak. It LOOKS spooky
Sample art
The other kids run away. “Too spooky!” they shout. But you stop and look closer.
Sample art
Then you see something in the window. Something glowing
Sample art
A little ghost! “Boo,” it whispers. But it doesn’t sound scary. It sounds sad.
Sample art
Your tummy flutters. Your knees wobble. But you take a deep breath and look closer.
Sample art
Click! You shine your flashlight. “Hello. I’m Sammy. Are you okay?”
Sample art
“Everyone runs away from me,” the little ghost sniffles. “I just want a friend.”
Sample art
“I’ll be your friend!” you say. The little ghost’s cheeks glow pink.
Sample art
You share your candy. Crinkle, crinkle. “Mmm!” says the little ghost.
Sample art
You have two glowing bracelets. Snap! You give one to your new friend. Now you match, Sammy!
Sample art
Then you have an idea. “Come trick-or-treating with me!”
Sample art
“Don’t worry,” you say. “Look closer. My friend isn’t spooky. It’s sweet!”
Sample art
The other kids peek out from a bush. They are still scared. They haven’t looked closer yet.
Sample art
So the little ghost does a funny wiggle-dance. Wiggle, wiggle, BOO-gie!
Sample art
The kids look closer. They giggle. Then they laugh. Then they all dance too!
Sample art
“You were right,” says the pirate. “It isn’t spooky at all. It’s our friend too!”
Sample art
Everyone trick-or-treats together down the whole street. Knock, knock... trick or treat!
Sample art
At the end of the night, the little ghost gives you a soft, cool hug. Thank you, Sammy.
Sample art
“Will you come back next Halloween?” “Boo-YES!” it giggles.
Sample art
Something that looks spooky might just need a friend. Look closer. Be kind first.
Sample art
Home again, Sammy, you count your candy. One, two, three... yum!
