I just planted the pumpkin seeds I had saved last autumn [after making pumpkin soup] and it feels like the right moment to tell a little bit about a new book about a child, some pumpkin seeds and a very special friend:
Pomme saves pumpkin seeds while she is making pumpkin soup with her father. In spring she carefully plants the seeds and looks curiously how the seeds sprout, fruit and ripen. Is she the only one who looks after the pumpkin plants?
Due out half August.
For this book I made a whole pile of sketches from the growing process of my pumpkin plants through the seasons.
To be continued.
