Looking at Halloween Costumes through a Mother's Eyes

Looking at Halloween Costumes through a Mother's Eyes

On September 22, 2009, Jeanne Sager’s article about toys and books was posted on the website http://www.babble.com/. Sager did not write about the typical books and toys for children. She wrote about her desire for more toys and books that could relate to the concerns of multiethnic children. Her comments suggest a vacuum in the area of Halloween costumes.

Provided with the right Halloween costume, a multiethnic child could feel more confident about his or her status as a “mutt.” A number of celebrities in the sports world appreciate the challenges of growing up in a multiethnic household. A costume that would allow a child to mimic a well know athlete could throw the limelight on the finest character traits in any well respected, sports hero, including one with a multiethnic background.
