Candy Corn Easter!

Illustrated by Jonathan Fenske

About The Book

The most underrated Halloween candies want to celebrate Easter in a super sweet picture book holiday mash-up with a dash of humor, a pinch of holiday excitement, and an Easter basket full of fun from Theodor Seuss Geisel Award–winning author-illustrator Jonathan Fenske.

Poor candy corn. The lonely sweets
felt more like tricks and less like treats.
Then suddenly there came a hop.
A hop, hop, hop. And then a stop.

When the loveable cast of Candy Corn characters find out about Easter, they can’t wait to join jelly beans, chocolate eggs, marshmallow chicks, and other springtime treats for a new adventure. But the Easter candies all agree their special day does not include these rambunctious Halloween leftovers.

Can Easter joy really be shared with everyone—even candy that doesn’t seem to belong?
