KiteReader Author Donna Davies and All Hallow’s Eve Press Review & Giveaway
Donna Davies, the Halloween Queen, channels her love of this haunting holiday into her charming, comical children’s books. She has released six books, including a coloring book, that all center around the legends of All Hallow’s Eve.
Ms. Davies is a staunch supporter of local libraries and historical societies, she serves as President of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Historic Fund and curates the Hudson Valley Halloween Magazine as an “en-spook-lopedia” of all things grim and ghoulish in the area.
It’s Halloween and you’re out for the night,
Not quite realizing you’re in for a fright.
The candy creepers have come to town,
And they will gobble your candy down.
The candy creepers are masters of disguise, but boy are they in for a big surprise.
A fun Halloween book sure to bring back fond childhood memories with a surprise ending!
Delightfully illustrated by Rob Peters.
