On All Hallows' Eve, when the world is asleep, a hidden celebration stirs to life in the moonlit graveyard...
With the stroke of a violin bow, the midnight music begins. One by one, the creatures of the night rise to dance. Skeletons can-can in feather boas. Ghouls jig hand-in-hand. Ghostly children twirl with foxes and raccoons. Even a prima ballerina floats through the fog, graceful as ever. Beneath the stars, love, laughter, and old friendships come alive once more.
They sway together in time, drifting among headstones like leaves in a breeze.
At this graveyard dance, everyone is welcome: young and old, rich and poor, witch or ghost, child or creature. United by music and moonlight, they celebrate the one night a year where joy knows no boundaries.
Graveyard Dance is a lyrical, beautifully illustrated Halloween picture book that celebrates the joy of dancing, the power of memory, and the magic of the unseen. Inspired by Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre, this story is spooky, not scary. It's perfect for readers ages 4-8 who delight in the mythology of Halloween night.
Ideal for:
- Halloween storytime
- Elementary classroom and library read-alouds
- Young readers who enjoy gently spooky fun
- Music lovers and fans of Danse Macabre
A celebration of life, love, remembrance, and coming together, no matter who you are or where you come from.
