Grumpy Pumpkin

By Mike Syp and Lennon Nii

A cute, heartwarming, and inspirational story about a little pumpkin who is judged by his outward appearance rather than who he really is inside. With a lot of practice and help from a friend, he learns how to recognize, understand, and overcome his emotions. A wonderful message for all young children, and especially those dealing with social-emotional and self-acceptance. Teacher's Pick.

It's almost Halloween, Percival P. Pumpkin's favorite time of year But this year does not feel like the others, he has lost his smile, and doesn't know why. Timing couldn't be worse as tomorrow is the Pick a Pumpkin for Your Porch event he has been looking forward to all year. Despite this, Percival decides to attend the pumpkin event where the experience goes from bad to worse. Until, that is, a little girl with a crooked smile comes along, saves Percival, and shows him what it means to love oneself and not change who you are.
