Synopsis

Follow a zany assemblage of skeletons on a whimsical journey through the hereafter to find answers to the ultimate questions. Do skeletons dream? And what would they do if brought back to life?

Skeleton Play, the Halloween-themed children’s book will help you teach your kids that death doesn’t have to be a dark or dreary topic, but that life on the other side is vibrant, colorful, beautiful . . . and fun!

(Also, as a fun side note, look for celebrity caricatures hidden in and amongst the skeleton characters themselves!)

Written for and dedicated to our conjoined twins, Ian and Aiden Hailes (that lived for only eighty minutes), Skeleton Play has been a deeply personal and moving project journey. We hope your kids love it as much as our kids do!
