Little Boo

Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3

Little Boo is the best! Until Little Boo is the worst...why couldn’t Big Boo have a little witch or even a little vampire for a younger sibling? A picture book featuring a pesky little sibling paired with gentle social-emotional learning—perfect for Halloween or any time of year when a new baby arrives and brings change.

When the antics of their little sibling start to get to Big Boo, they decided to trade for a friend’s younger sibling, Little Howl. At first this seems like a great idea, but soon enough, Big Boo finds that the grass isn’t always greener and Little Howl is a whole new level of monster. This sweet and humorous story about sibling relationships acknowledges the frustrations—and ultimately, the love—that comes with a new addition to the family.
