Lila and the Jack-O'-Lantern by Nancy Churnin
STARED REVIEW This delightful picture book is a must-have for elementary libraries.--School Library Journal starred review
An Irish immigrant moves to America, bringing along a now-beloved Halloween tradition.
When Lila and her family leave Ireland for the United States, Lila misses many things, but especially Halloween. Each year, she and her siblings look forward to tricking a sly spirit named Jack by carving turnips into jack-o'-lanterns and walking the streets of their small town in ghostly costumes. Now, with no turnips in sight, can she bring the spirit of the holiday to the crowded city streets of her new home?
The William Hoy Story, How a Deaf Baseball Player Changed the Game was Nancy Churnin's first picture book. Nancy grew up in New York City, going to Broadway shows and Yankee games as a theater critic for The Dallas Morning News. With her husband, Dallas Morning News arts journalist Michael Granberry, she has four sons and two cats.
