Brenda Haugen has written dozens of books for Compass Point Books-many of which are biographies. She has a few books written in the series "Holidays and Celebrations" of which Halloween is one of the titles. The book focuses on the origins of Halloween in Ireland and England and mentions some traditions such as that of Christians going house to house for pieces of soul cakes and they would in turn promise to say prayers for the families that fed them. She mentions that bonfires were lit to scare away bad spirits and they did make lanterns out of carved vegetables. We will celebrate Halloween in a couple of days!To find more books by Brenda Haugen visit compass point books.

Hey Trisha,
I remembered a while back that you asked about the song "Bella's Lullaby" on my blog. I just found out the real artist and song name. It is by Yiruma and is called "River Flows in You." Just thought you might like to know. :)
Thank you! We're currently looking up songs from school musicals ranging from Annie Get Your Gun to The Music Man to Les Miserables.
