About This Book
On a trip to the farmers' market, a young girl named Sophie picks out a butternut squash and immediately falls in love, naming it Bernice. She carries Bernice everywhere and cares for her through the changing seasons, eventually learning about letting go and new beginnings when the squash starts to change.
Why We Love This
Kids who have ever had an unlikely lovey - a rock, a stick, a vegetable - will see themselves in Sophie, and the seasonal arc makes this a wonderful fall read.
