From Dark to Light traces the birth of Pumpker, a boy pumpkin seed from dark planting and underground dreaming to sunshine and growing until final selection by a family for Halloween. Pumpker has two sisters, Plumpalicious and Plumpilina, who mock him and laugh at him. But he grows into a fine large pumpkin and hopes that one day a child and family will choose him to be their Halloween pumpkin, and he will not be mocked or teased any more. Imagine his joy when he sees a snaggle toothed grin of a little girl who claims him and his two sisters for her family Halloween pumpkins. Pumpker is chosen, along with his sisters, and taken home with the girl and her parents. He is delighted to be made beautiful and scary, with the Halloween pumpkin carving of big eyes and scary eyebrows, nose and mouth. Pumpker, Plumpalicious, and Plumpalina are given candles to make the night glow through their carved faces as the night falls. Charming, light, whimsical illustrations portray the metamorphosis of Pumpker and his sisters from seeds planted in the ground to glowing jack-o-lanterns in this charming Halloween fable written by a ten year old girl who loved Halloween and fall. It is an inspiring story for young dreamers. -Midwest Book Review
