Who changes the leaves? Summons the autumn winds? Wakes ghosts and spirits to haunt houses and chill the air? Why, Spoops, of course! They hatch from the smallest gourds in your local pumpkin patch at the start of every fall, then tend to your town to ensure everything is just right for Halloween.
My friend A.J. Locascio has a children's book coming out this August, based upon the small creatures he invented and sells throughout the year - The Spoops. I'm a proud owner of a few of them.
As someone who has looked into getting a book published, I have nothing but immense respect for the people who can pull it off. It's truly impressive.
Super excited for A.J. and illustrator Laurie Conley. Looking extremely forward to adding this one to my growing collection of children's Halloween books.

That's pretty cool.
Well, that's a copy sold...right in the ol' cart.
I always wondered how my little neck of the woods got all of the leaves just the right color, or managed to get the temperature right where it needed to be just in the nick of time, and now I will finally know.
Awe - I love those little spoops.
