It's Halloween at Hero HQ, and a giant pumpkin-headed shadow is creeping up the wall. Kai is scared, and that's okay. Capes on! With pumpkin breaths, a brave little heart and his big sister's hand, Kai looks a little closer... and finds the silliest surprise of the night. A not-so-spooky story with a brave little song to sing, about feeling scared, taking it slow, and being brave together.
Level 1 · First Songs
Listen, move, and join in with a sound.
The child: Listens, moves, claps or taps, and joins in with a sound, a word or a sign when the song stops for them.
The grown-up: Sings most of it. Pauses before the word that comes back so the child can fill it in, any way they can.
