The Costume Shop on Cobweb Street
A Not Too Spooky Halloween Bedtime Story for Kids Ages 6–9

Nora Higgins has one problem: six days until Halloween, and still no costume that feels like her. When her cousin mentions a street that only appears one week each October, Nora finds herself at Thimble's Fine Costumes — a shop run by a friendly (and very see-through) ghost tailor who insists you don't just wear a costume, you try it on properly.

One by one, Nora tests a bold knight's armor, a mischievous witch's cloak, and a swaggering pirate coat — each one fun, each one just a little bit not her. It isn't until she tries on something soft, glowing, and gentle that she finally finds the costume that fits: one that lets her be exactly, comfortably, kind.

A warm, not-too-scary Halloween bedtime story for kids ages 6–9, perfect for a cozy family read-aloud or listen. With gentle themes of kindness, identity, and finding your own quiet courage, this friendly ghost story proves the best costume isn't about being someone else it's about being a little more you.
