Grumpy Pumpkin

Description

A cute, heartwarming, and inspirational story about a little pumpkin named Percival P. Pumpkin who is judged by his outward appearance rather than his true self inside. Despite his struggles with losing his smile around Halloween, his favorite time of year, he attends the Pick a Pumpkin for Your Porch event. Here, a little girl with a crooked smile helps him realize the importance of loving oneself and embracing one's unique qualities. The story is crafted by Michael and his son Lennon, who based it on a school project. Proceeds from the book support children in need of behavioral development services, which have greatly benefited Lennon, a neurodivergent and socially emotional child powered by ADHD.
