The Green Pumpkin

By Jen Kennedy

A Halloween and Fall Favorite for Kids Ages 4-8 (Grades PreK-2)

Emmy can't wait for her class trip to the pumpkin patch. While her classmates reach for the biggest, roundest, brightest orange pumpkins, Emmy notices something different; a pumpkin bumpy and green.

It may not look like the others, but she was drawn to it. Back at school, Emmy's classmates make fun of her choice. But with some imagination, creativity, and encouragement from her mom, she transforms her green pumpkin into something magical, proving that "sometimes the best things are different too".

Perfect for Halloween read-alouds, fall celebrations, and classroom story time, The Green Pumpkin is more than just a seasonal book. It's a touching story about individuality, creativity, and embracing what makes us unique. Young readers will cheer for Emmy and be inspired to see the beauty can come in any shape, color, or size.
