While a lot of the world have traditions that celebrate Halloween or All Hallow's Eve, on October 31st, we choose to focus on a far more uplifting happening in history – October 31, 1517 was the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the door of the Wittenberg church in Germany – a very important event in the grand scheme of the Great Reformation.
There aren't many picture books memorializing this event, but there are some resources available if your family would like to learn more about it. Some of these include affiliate links:
