About This Book
A stemless pumpkin sits on a New York City stoop, watching all the other pumpkins get chosen to become jack-o'-lanterns and worrying that no one will ever pick him. When a kind child finally sees past his missing stem and gives him a face, Stumpkin discovers that being different doesn't mean being unwanted.
