Book excerpt: Starting pre-school can be pretty scary for some children. As any mother knows, happy morning chatter can quickly turn into a lip quiver and tears. For the little girl in this story, a little orange pumpkin growing in a leaf pile miraculously restored the joy that had been lost to the child's nervousness. The important little pumpkin not only saved the day, but was also the beginning of a long and wonderful, first day of school tradition, for our family. The little girl in the story, my daughter, is now twenty-seven years old and finishing her masters degree. She still received a pumpkin on her first day of school. The pumpkin is a reassuring presence and reminder that any apprehensions of the day, will soon fade into a memory.
