CASEY BROWNING
CHILDREN’S BOOK AUTHOR • HUMOR & RHYME • OL’ HALLOWEEN NIGHT (2015)
📚 A STORYTELLER WITH A PLAYFUL SIDE!
Casey Browning is the author of the children’s picture book Ol’ Halloween Night, published in 2015. The story celebrates Halloween through playful rhymes, familiar monsters, and the excitement of a night filled with costumes and candy.
✏️ FINDING THE PERFECT RHYME!
Browning enjoyed writing poetry during his school years, especially poems designed to make people laugh. He described the challenge of finding matching rhymes as something like solving a mathematical puzzle with words.
🎃 WHEN HALLOWEEN COMES ALIVE!
Ol’ Halloween Night brings traditional Halloween creatures into a colorful, humorous picture-book adventure. Rather than concentrating only on frightening moments, the story captures the anticipation, silliness, and make-believe that make the holiday memorable for children.
📖 FROM AN IDEA TO A REAL BOOK!
Page Publishing released Ol’ Halloween Night in July 2015, turning Browning’s rhyming Halloween story into a published picture book. A September 2015 announcement introduced the work to readers and highlighted its celebration of Halloween traditions.
💡 SOMETIMES IDEAS NEED A BREAK!
In a Goodreads author discussion, Browning explained that stepping away from a difficult passage can help fresh ideas appear. Instead of forcing every sentence, he sometimes switches projects or takes a break until inspiration returns.
✨ LITTLE RHYMES, BIG IMAGINATIONS!
Rhyming picture books invite young readers to listen for patterns, anticipate sounds, and enjoy words aloud. Browning’s Halloween-themed story uses that playful approach to turn familiar holiday characters into an imaginative reading experience.
