Description
What if being different is exactly what makes you perfect?
In the pumpkin patch at Stephens Farm, one little pumpkin doesn't look like all the others. While his smooth, perfectly orange friends feel confident about Halloween, the Bumpy Pumpkin worries that his colorful bumps make him too different to be picked.
But when a special little girl named Olivia comes looking for the perfect pumpkin, she sees something wonderful that everyone else missed. Sometimes the most beautiful thing about us is what makes us unique.
"The Bumpy Pumpkin" is a heartwarming fall story that celebrates self-acceptance, kindness, and finding where you truly belong. Perfect for children ages 3-8, this farm life tale teaches young readers that being different isn't something to hide—it's something to celebrate.
Ideal for:
- Self-esteem building and confidence
- Story time and bedtime stories
- Halloween and autumn reading
- Classroom read-alouds and discussions about diversity and acceptance
- A colorful, fun and thoughtful gift for young readers
Help your child discover that different is beautiful with this touching story of friendship and self-worth.
