Lilly's Surprise Pumpkins
Perfect for autumn storytimes and holiday book read-alouds, this tender picture book stars a young girl who watches over her pumpkin patch and celebrates her well-earned harvest.
When Lilly spots something leafy and green growing from their compost bin she learns—Surprise!—they're pumpkins growing from the mushy jack-o'-lanterns her family tossed in last fall. She takes good care of the little pumpkins all summer, protecting them from creatures who might like a nibble and checking in on their growth.
