Children’s Book Review: Princess Pumpkin Patch
Why are pumpkins round? Did you know they used to be square? Princess Sassinia Pumpkin Patch is in charge of all the pumpkin harvests in the Butterfly Kingdom. But, she wonders if there is more to life than just harvesting pumpkins. She goes searching for an answer and finds a beautiful one. Read along with Sassi, the Pumpkin Princess, as she finds her truth while you discover why pumpkins are now round.
In this day and age, many parents, including myself, find ourselves worrying about the bad that we encounter every day in our world. I feel like every time I look on social media or watch television; I see nothing but cruelty and selfishness. My worst fears are that my children who are growing up in this world will encounter too much negative in their lives and not enough kindness. That is why it is vital to teach our children about compassion.
Anyone, no matter how young, can help make the world a better place through their kindness and thoughtful actions. And it is our job as parents to teach them. A great way to teach our children the value of kindness is through books. A book that does a great job capturing the power of kindness and the sense of purpose and pride that comes from helping others is Princess Pumpkin Patch by Andi Cann.
Princess Pumpkin Patch by Andi Cann is about a Princess named Sassinia who lives in a Butterfly Castle surrounded by all the pumpkins in the world. Princess Sassinia is in charge of the harvest festival in her village every year, but she feels like she is missing something. She doesn’t know if she is making a difference or doing enough for her village. So she ventures off to the ends of the world to find the answers to her questions. Readers follow Princess Sassinia through this whimsical journey as she learns that it is not about what you do but who you are that makes a difference in the world.
This book teaches children that you don’t have to perform large heroic acts to make the world a better place: even small acts of kindness can create lasting effects in the world that no one could expect. This book also teaches children that their empathy and compassion really can make a difference! We are all here for a purpose. We are more than enough. We just need to believe it.
Princess Pumpkin Patch by Andi Cann is enchanting and whimsical. This is the perfect book to add to your bookshelf. You’ll want to get lost in the pages of this book infinitely.
