This book is NOT a celebration of Halloween … no ghosts, goblins, demons, witches, or monsters here! This charming story for children illustrates how a loving farmer can turn a simple pumpkin into a simply glorious sight. In the same way, God’s transforming love can fill each of our hearts with joy and light. Liz Curtis Higgs created "The pumpkin patch parable" as a way to share the Good News with her own children each harvest season, never imagining her story would one day encourage children all around the world.

a wonderful religious celebration of Fall, and very educational. Takes you through a farmer's process of growing pumpkins. Once ready to harvest, the farmer chooses a pumpkin and carves it into a jack-o-lantern. The focus is on how, like the pumpkin getting a new face with a shining light within, God's love and promises can make each of us new and a light of his love to the world.
Each page contains pertinent Bible verses.
