🎃COVER REVEAL! 🎃

We are excited to share the cover of Beth’s latest picture book—LILLY’S SURPRISE PUMPKINS—a tender story about growing, waiting, and best of all, sharing.

When Lilly discovers pumpkins growing in the compost, she imagines all the yummy treats she’ll make. But first, she must care for the little pumpkins and protect them from hungry foxes, bunnies, and deer who would love a nibble. When it’s time to harvest, will Lilly have enough to share?

A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

📅 Coming June 15 – preorder now at your local bookstore or sleepingbearpress.com

And of course, we’ll have signed copies at Mendon Mountain Orchards and The Vermont Farmers Market. See you there!
