New Children's Book, "Jack The Pumpkin"

Happy October! I'm very happy to finish a small children's tale on "Jack O'Lantern". I never thought of doing a seasonal book but for some reason, I thought about changes and how positive changes can be. I figured that I should do some drawings and seeing that it is the season of pumpkins, I was inspired to do something Halloweenish. I hope you enjoy it! https://www.createspace.com/3632725
