An honest and uplifting story about how love can grow in a blended family.

A mother and daughter love watching their tiny pumpkin plant grow. Then Mum's new partner Sam moves in with all her stuff . and everything changes. The child doesn't want to share her space - or her mum. But Sam turns out to be great at gardening and making up games. As the pumpkin plant grows, so does the love in this new family.

This reassuring yet real portrayal of introducing a new partner will help children cope with change and navigate their emotions as their family grows.

Featuring a same-sex couple and from an own voice LGTBQ+ author, this sensitively told story celebrates the ups and downs of building a blended family after divorce and separation.
