The Pumpkin Who Shared Her Light: One Little Light Can Brighten the Night!

By Michael J. Henderson

Book Overview

One little pumpkin has a different idea about Halloween.

While the bigger pumpkins believe they should frighten everyone, Penny wants to welcome the children and brighten their evening. With her warm golden glow, she brings friends together for a night of sharing and kindness. But when the porch lights suddenly go dark, even Penny feels afraid. With her friends beside her, she discovers that courage can begin with one small step and that a little kindness can help someone else find their way.

The Pumpkin Who Shared Her Light is a colorful, rhyming picture book about friendship, generosity, and the courage to be yourself. Penny's adventure reminds young readers that they do not have to be the biggest, loudest, or brightest to make a difference. Written by Michael J. Henderson, this illustrated Halloween story includes sing-along verses, a seven-day kindness challenge, safety tips, drawing and writing activities, and a counting page. It offers families and educators an engaging read-aloud with opportunities to explore feelings, welcome others, and put kindness into practice.

Join Penny and her friends to discover how one little light can brighten the night.
