Skeleton and the Day He Couldn't Say No

By Ehab Abo Elmagd

Skeleton loves helping everyone in Monster Town.

He helps carry things, hold things, deliver things, and even lends out a few of his own bones when someone asks.

There is just one problem:

Skeleton cannot seem to say no.

Soon he is carrying pumpkins, pies, lanterns, a suspicious sandwich, and more jobs than one skeleton can possibly handle. By the time the Monster Town Moon Parade begins, Skeleton is missing an arm, a leg, his hat, and almost all of his energy.

With Monty and Witch by his side, Skeleton discovers that being kind does not mean saying yes to everything.

Sometimes the kindest answer can be "yes."
Sometimes it can be "no."
And sometimes it can simply be "maybe."

Funny, warm, and not-too-spooky, Skeleton and the Day He Couldn't Say No is a picture book about friendship, boundaries, confidence, helping others, and learning to listen to yourself.

Perfect for children ages 4-8, bedtime reading, classroom read-alouds, and young readers who love funny monsters, Halloween-style adventures, and big feelings.
