I thought this was going to be the typical let it grow type of book about various things growing and thriving.  But it was just about pumpkins and what you could do with them through various stages of growth.  But the story is to let these pumpkins grow and grow and grow.  Grow so big that they can be hollowed out and used as boats.  I didn’t know this was a thing until this book, and I am so enthused that googling will be done next.  The other thing that makes this book stand out is the inclusion of a Black farming family.  It’s nice to see diversity in farming books. It has been sorely lacking.
