Lila and the Jack-o'-Lantern: Halloween Comes to America | Nancy Churnin

I heard about this from A Mighty Girl FB post this week. I found it at the local library and read it immediately. Loved it. There was a mom reading Halloween picture books to her three daughters. I gave a quick synopsis to her as I handed it off for them to enjoy. The mom was beaming and then I was too.
