Spookley was born one Halloween night years ago, when Joe Troiano’s young son asked for a non-scary bedtime story about pumpkins. Troiano is the award-winning author, script writer, lyricist, and producer behind all of the Spookley the Square Pumpkin and Holiday Hill Farm books, movies, songs and stage shows. Spookley lives on Holiday Hill Farm, a world of storytelling magic where "Every Day is a
Holiday” and where Spookley and his friends celebrate what makes every day - and every one - special throughout the entire year.
