Pumpkin Heads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks

Just in time for Halloween and the Chief’s football season (thank you, Taylor), Jennifer and Courtney cover a charming graphic novel written by Rainbow Rowell and illustrated by Faith Erin Hicks about a budding romance in a pumpkin patch! Pumpkin Heads follows Josiah and Deja through their expansive pumpkin patch full of fun fall activities like caramel apple stands, hungry goats, and hay rides. Their adventures model positive lessons in body image, consent, and friendship…but one scene revealing Deja’s bisexuality may keep these important lessons from reaching young readers. Join Courtney and Jennifer as they discuss whether or not this book should be in elementary school libraries and why Scholastic should stop selling slime kits at their book fairs.
