Little Brother Pumpkin Head

(3) K-3 Translated by Grace Maccarone. Illustrated by Samantha Enria. A boy looks forward to his new brother's birth, but he worries that his mother's obsession with pumpkin-flavored foods will result in the baby having a pumpkin for a head, with nothing inside but seeds. His mission: to fill the baby's head with sounds and stories instead. The first-person text conveys the boy's sweet, protective attitude; digital illustrations portray a happy, healthy growing family.
