Patrick the Pumpkin

In a magical garden filled with vegetables of all shapes and sizes, Patrick the pumpkin is different.

He can't roll fast, hold his breath to glow bright, or spit seeds far like his brothers and sisters. He's small and shy, and the other pumpkins tease him. With Halloween coming, will anyone even want him?

Excitement soon fills the garden-the witches are coming! They swoop in, laughing as they pick out their favorite pumpkins. Patrick watches, hoping someone will notice him among all the beautiful pumpkins.

When something unexpected happens, Patrick finds himself in a dangerous situation. His friend needs help! With no time to waste, will he find the courage to save her, or will his shyness hold him back?

This sweet and whimsical Halloween story for kids reminds us that being different is not bad-and, sometimes, the smallest ones can be the biggest heroes of all! The first in a series of holiday books for children, this magical adventure is bound to be a story time favorite.
