What if a little ghost were afraid of Halloween?
Zefirchyk's world changes when he and his family leave Ukraine and begin a new life in Michigan. Far from familiar streets, favorite treats, and the grandparents he loves, everything feels different-the language, the houses, the people, and even the holidays.
Although Zefirchyk feels nervous and misses home, the love of his family helps him move forward. Little by little, he learns English, makes new friends, and discovers that a new home does not have to replace the old one in his heart.
Then Halloween arrives-and Zefirchyk is shocked to see monsters, witches, and skeletons everywhere! But are they really as frightening as they seem?
This warmly illustrated story gently explores:
- Moving to a new country
- Missing home and loved ones
- Facing unfamiliar experiences
- Friendship, courage, and belonging
- Keeping two homes in your heart
A comforting story for young readers about change, family, new beginnings, and finding light in unfamiliar places.
