Ezra's Family in the Spooky House is a heartwarming children's picture book written and illustrated by Hallie Guidry. It is a short and sweet story that follows Ezra, a fun-loving boy who lives with his family in a spooky house on a hill. Ezra introduces readers to his not-so-ordinary family members. Despite their blue-green complexions, fangs, or fur, they are like any other person. They can sing, dance, play games, read books, swim, and even have an interest in science. What is more important is that they all love Ezra, and he loves them too. If you want to meet Ezra's extraordinary family, grab this book.
Ezra's Family in the Spooky House teaches children not to judge people based on their appearance or where they live. The book also explores themes of authenticity and staying true to oneself. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, not only for its profound message but also for its interesting characters. Each character is unique, with hilarious names. Hallie Guidry's writing style is engaging, as the characters directly address the reader, giving a glimpse into their lives. Ezra, the adorable main character, will resonate well with children, and his innocence and endearing personality made me love him instantly. The book has beautiful illustrations that perfectly complement the story and depict the characters' personalities and fun-loving nature. I liked the dark colors because they give the book a Halloween vibe. I highly recommend parents and caregivers share this book with their children.
