The Bumpy Little Pumpkin by Margery Cuyler, Will Hillenbrand

Little Nell is dwarfed by her sisters, BIG Lizzie and BIG Sarah. At Halloween, Lizzie and Sarah choose big, smooth pumpkins, while Nell selects the small, lumpy runt of the vine. Her sisters dismiss it as too "bumpy and little and ugly." Then Nell's animal friends appear, and using antlers and beaks as tools, they help her carve a winning face on her pumpkin. With Mama's delight and praise, the little sister becomes empowered. The book shares the lesson about individuality, friendship, and finding beauty in things less than perfect.
