A wolf mask can look like a real wolf when you are three. In this Halloween story, big sister Hana teaches Pip a game that makes every mask a little less scary: Mask ON... Mask OFF! Still Papa!
Many children ages 3 to 5 are still learning that a mask changes how someone looks, not who they are. So a neighbor in a wolf mask can feel like a real wolf. Pip's story gives your child a game to test it for themselves, again and again, until the answer is always the same: still you.
The book has a QR code that brings grown-ups here for four free printables: Mask On, Mask Off practice cards, quick tips for a child who is scared of masks and costumes, talk-about-it questions for every part of the story, and read-aloud tips for the big night.
