📖 About the Book
When Ameena and Felipe want to bake pumpkin muffins but have no pumpkins, they don't give up — they get creative. The duo visits their local seed library, grows their own pumpkins in the community garden, bakes a batch of muffins, and returns the seeds they borrowed. It's a simple, satisfying story that brings big ideas — sustainability, community, and where food really comes from — to life for young readers.
