Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Six-year old Pidge lives on a dairy farm where she helps with small daily chores. One day her mom gives her a handful of pumpkin seeds presenting Pidge with an exciting new challenge. Will little Pidge be up for the big task of growing her own pumpkins? It requires a lot of hard work and determination to ready the hard soil, to clear the weeds, and to carry big water buckets every day in the hot sun. But Pidge has a clear goal: she will grow the biggest and best pumpkins for mom's special horn of plenty at Thanksgiving. All her effort is rewarded with the daily joy of watching her plants grow and grow and grow! But one day something terrible happens to her beloved pumpkins. Pidge is devastated to find her pumpkin patch squashed by the wheels of a big truck. With the help of a kind stranger and words of wisdom from mom, Pidge finds the ambition to plant a new crop. This charming story demonstrates how disappointment can be changed into hopeful determination. "Pidge's Pocket Change" encourages its young readers to persevere in pursuit of their goals and how to find resilience when things don't go as expected.
