Overview

When a girl makes ghapama in her small Armenian village, no one can resist the rich aromatic fragrance of her baking and soon the entire town throws an impromptu, festive feast! Enter into the vibrant and colorful adaptation of an Armenian folk song in Stuffed Pumpkin in a Stuffed House, Ghapama. Delightfully delectable in all the best ways, Stuffed Pumpkin in a Stuffed House, Ghapama follows the narrator, an Armenian village girl, after she gets hungry and prepares ""ghapama,"" which is an Armenian traditional stuffed pumpkin dish. Within her small village, the fragrance of the baked, stuffed pumpkin spreads and fellow villagers come to knock at her door-each bringing a different Armenian dish to share. The girl had made the ghapama for herself after getting hungry, and now she stares wide-eyed at a festive feast for twenty! Filled with warmth amid educational concepts like counting by fives, rhyming, and differentiating family member titles, Stuffed Pumpkin in a Stuffed House, Ghapama serves as a reminder of the unexpected joys that come with sharing a traditional Armenian feast surrounded by family and friends in a celebration of life. Children and their families who read the book together will take away that even when things don't go as planned, they can always appreciate the value of sharing and embracing their community. After all, togetherness, love, and generosity are life's most memorable moments.
