All kids love Halloween, right?!?! Not Benny J.
Benny J. and the Horrible Halloween
is the perfect book to read to kids who find themselves overwhelmed, worried, and self-conscious on big days like Halloween. The story of Benny J. can be used as a teaching tool all year round to teach empathy and kindness to neurodiverse (Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, etc.) and neurotypical kids alike.
"Everyone is excited about the Halloween parade. Everyone, that is, except for me. I am not going!" Benny J. is unlike most children. Benny J. is worried... and he doesn't like Halloween!
Will people stare at him? What if they laugh at his costume? Will the parade be too loud?
But what Benny J. doesn't know is that Halloween can also be pretty exciting... if only he gives it a chance!
Will Benny J. be brave enough to join the Halloween parade at school?
Or will he stay at home and not attend at all? The seemingly small things in life can feel overwhelming for little kids... but with "Benny J. and the Horrible Halloween", they might just change their minds!
