Skeletina and the In-Between World is a spooktacular read as we lead up to Halloween! Inspired by the Mexican culture, this spooky story combines kooky characters with an important social emotional learning theme on empathy, bravery, and the enduring power of love.
Synopsis
Meet Skeletina, a fun-loving, fearless little girl who lives in the in-between world with her friends, who include monsters, creatures, ghosts, and more. The upside-down, inside-out, in-between world is where the living go when they are fast asleep and where the dead hang out when they have unfinished business. Visitors to the in-between world are children who come to confront their fears or to see a loved one who has recently left the world of the living. Either way, Skeletina is there to guide them and help children conquer their anxieties.
