Fall is here — and so is something sweet, cozy, and brand new to love!I’m so excited to announce the release of my newest children’s book, I Love You, Pumpkin Spice, beautifully illustrated by the award-winning Irina Priscaru.
If autumn is your favorite season (pumpkins, cozy treats, swirling leaves, and that unmistakable pumpkin spice magic), this book is for you — and for every child who delights in the wonder of fall.
About the Book
It’s October and everything’s nice… even better? It’s Pumpkin Spice!
In this whimsical, rhyming picture book, readers meet a playful little girl who loves all things pumpkin spice — from cookies and cakes to s’mores and pancakes. But one crisp, golden autumn day brings an even sweeter surprise: a cozy orange cat with “pumpkiny fur and little white feet.”
Together, this joyful duo celebrates the magic of the season — baking, laughing, tossing leaves into the sky, and sprinkling pumpkin spice everywhere. It’s a story about friendship, imagination, and the little traditions that make fall feel magical.
And just when you think the fun is over, there’s a special treat at the end: a kid-friendly pumpkin spice recipe families can make together!
