My Happy Pumpkin

This successful selling harvest time favorite is being released in a smaller size.

Now in a smaller size, the successful harvest-time favorite, My Happy Pumpkin, continues to delight readers young and old. Small children will eagerly open this pumpkin-shaped board book to discover a delightful story filled with colorful illustrations by artist Claudine Gevry. Using sing-song rhyme, bestselling 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 the inside of a pumpkin, God makes us clean on the inside too.
