My Happy Pumpkin — Crystal Bowman

Small children will eagerly open this pumpkin-shaped board book to discover the delightful story and colorful illustrations, by artist Claudine Gévry. Using sing-song rhyme, author Crystal Bowman describes a fun fall tradition -- carving a pumpkin face. But she adds a twist that helps preschoolers grasp the concept of God's life-changing love for them. Just like we scoop out all the slop found inside a pumpkin, God makes us clean on the inside too.
