The Bumpy Pumpkin is a heartwarming fall story that celebrates self-acceptance, kindness, and finding where you truly belong. Perfect for children ages 3-8, this farm life tale teaches young readers that being different isn't something to hide—it’s something to celebrate.
This project was an absolute joy to work on with author Natalie Horseman. Developing the not-so-perfect pumpkin and working with unique shapes and colours to show their expressions was a challenge, but so rewarding to see the end product.
This project consisted of 32 pages of illustration, front and back cover design, end sheets, and book interior design and layout.
