It’s Halloween, and little friends are all dressed up! Follow along as they go from house to house, having fun and saying "Trick-or-treat!" in this second installment of the Brown Baby Parade series.
It’s Halloween! Time to go—off into the night. Little friends all dressed up. They are quite a sight.
A group of friends in costumes have a blast trick-or-treating from house to house. Each friend is dressed up, so you'll see a ballerina, an astronaut, a pumpkin, and even a president!
Nikki Shannon Smith's soothing, rhythmic text and DeAndra Hodge's warm, welcoming illustrations pair beautifully to create heartwarming scenes of brown babies in everyday life. The varied costumes on children of diverse skin tones allows these kids to envision themselves in any costume they like!
"[A] playful rhyming story that embraces the fun of Halloween." —School Library Journal
