About this title

From the Author:

I never tell a story so tight and tidy that there isn't room for a child's imagination. Every child's story should be an invitation to imagine.

As a gardener, McKy once planted too many pumpkin seeds. She saw that a good thing can be a bad thing when the vines start to grow every which way. McKy twined what she learned from children with what she learned in the garden to write Pumpkin Town!
