Spooky, scary skeletons

About the Author
Andrew Gold was a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who worked on everything from TV theme songs (including "Thank You For Being a Friend" for The Golden Girls), to Linda Ronstadt records (like her breakthrough album Heart Like a Wheel), to his own top-40 hits, such as "Lonely Boy"-and so much more. In 1996, he released the album Halloween Howls: Fun & Scary Music, which included "Spooky, Scary Skeletons," along with eight other original scary tunes. The universe is truly more fun and scary thanks to his music!
Polona Lovsin has always been drawn to projects that express her artistic creativity, particularly those that make life's difficult moments, such as separation or death, more accessible to children. Inspired by her older brother's drawing ability, she developed a fascination for detailed and character-rich illustrations, often losing herself in them for hours. Her work is further inspired by her two daughters and two playful corgis.
