The Pumpkin Patch
Rusty the squirrel and Barnaby the burrowing owl are the best of friends. They share breakfast on top of the biggest pumpkin in the patch and watch the sunrise together.
But on the day of the fall festival, a little boy sits in the dirt with a big sigh- every pumpkin is too small or too lumpy, and not one of them is right.
Barnaby knows what to do. Hop, hop, hop - off goes to help, because when someone is sad, the kindest thing you can do is help them.
An autumn story about friendship, kindness, and the very best the ones shared with friends.
Becky Blake writes picture books about kindness and friendship.
