Pumpkin Moonshine is a delightful children’s book that tells the story of Sylvie Ann and her adventure in finding and carving a pumpkin (a pumpkin moonshine) for Halloween. Despite the simplicity of the tale, the book captures the essence of the holiday and childhood excitement, all beautifully illustrated by the author.
