Published in November 2024, Marc Fetscherin’s Bones Is Back: A Family Tradition for Halloween recently earned the 2025 Book of the Year Award by Creative Child magazine, taking top honors in both the “Interactive Holiday Books” and “Books That Encourage Positive Behavior” categories.
Creative Child magazine is a national monthly publication and website that provides parents with the latest information on how to nurture their child’s creativity. Selected by a panel of independent parents and educators, this recognition celebrates the unique blend of creativity, warmth, and family connection that defines Fetscherin’s work beyond academia.
Since 2020, Fetscherin has ventured into children’s literature, drawing inspiration from his personal life, especially his two daughters, Margaux and Mirielle. His second children’s book, Bones Is Back: A Family Tradition for Halloween, is not only a creative success but also a heartfelt dad-daughter project.
Inspired by the popular Elf on the Shelf, the book was born out of a playful Halloween tradition the three of them created together. When his daughters asked why their skeleton didn’t move like their elf, Fetscherin began hiding it each night—sparking laughter, curiosity, and a new family tradition that he felt compelled to share with others. The result is Bones Is Back, a charming story about a mischievous skeleton who comes to life each October to play pranks and create joyful moments with families.
